He he well this data was taken on 18 June. My judgement of seeing is old school, ie I base it on experience and my guiding quality, if the subs come down and look clear and tight and my star centroid guide graph is a tight round bunch of grapes I go Ooooh yeeeah! If they come down and they are soft and pom pom like and my guide graph looks more like a pineapple, I go Doh! (and usually only collect RGB at those times). Those are the two extremes, it's called the OYD seeing scale "Oh Yeah! to Doh!"

It is a 5 level scale: O, G, M, S, D or Ooooh Yeah!, Gee not bad, Meah, Sheesh and Doh!

So average means average for my site and gets a "Meah".

Not sure how this scale relates to other sites though....so it is of limited universal use

Thanks Steve, it was an enjoyable process and (relatively) instant gratification
