Got up at 5:30 this morning for a look, and surprise I could actually see stars not clouds. Well some clouds but not many. But it was very windy, too windy, but I wanted to have a go anyway. Did one vid and the wind was buffeting the scope a lot, sometimes it would shake mars right off the camera and would have been ruining a lot of frames. But apart from that it wasn't too bad. Got a big piece of cardboard to block the wind a bit and that helped. Couple of changes: was running the 3x barlow out about 14mm to get very close to optimal focal ratio. Also stacked with Autostakkert 3.1, have been using AS!2. Left for work at 7 and the wind had dropped right off but there was 100% cloud cover.
