At the moment I am imaging at 1.16"/pixel and on a good night I can get <2" FWHM so I can drizzle out a bit more sharpness. On a bad night I am getting 4" seeing or ~3.5 FWHM.

That was the purpose of this post, how bad can the RGB be before it just needs to be retaken?
No debate that dark sky trips are hard if you need to back up to work!

I'm just not convinced that seeing forecasts are good enough to make decisions on. Clear dark nights are rare enough.. once those factors are in place I think seeing is a role of the dice.

Do you see much correlation between seeing forecasts and actual results at home?
