[Mickoid (Michael)]

I shot this a few hours ago at around 8.00pm. Decided to process it while waiting for Mars to climb above the trees. Very dewy outside and when I took this the seeing was quite bad and I'm wondering if it was because I captured it quite close to the roof of my house. Conditions were supposed to be almost the best it can get, so I was a little disappointed. Maybe as the roof released heat from a relatively sunny day here in Melbourne it created thermal distortions that ruined the seeing. Hopefully the roof will have cooled down before Mars makes a show.

Captured with a ZWO ASI120MM-S through an 8 inch Newtonian on a RA driven EQ5 mount.
