Similar story, I tried to image again last night and despite CFN showing dark blue ( steady ) jet steam, the warm northerly breeze was destroying the seeing. Like looking at a pebble at the bottom of a pond on a windy day. I did take 2 video files at approx 200 frames / sec but I knew they would not be any good and on reviewing the videos and trying to process one, gave up and deleted the files , as useless.
