The seeing down in Melbourne hasn't been good since summer this year, even then it wasn't fantastic.

Yep for the Baader. I've found someone who has a very generous asking price for his unused one, so very much yep! Should've gone that way in the first place. Serves me right for trying to do things cheaply. It's a shame because the GSO is supposed to be this optically amazing thing from a top optics designer. Unbelievable stupid how it comes with no instructions and no spacers - literally nothing at all. Just a hunk of glass and metal in an unmarked cardboard box. Ridiculous.
I've always been curious - how do you know how good the seeing is in your area on any given night? Is there some metric used?
