That rubs it in after I accidentally fried my AP1600 electronics so I didn't do any scope imaging.

Thanks Mat, yes you are probably quite right, I have meant to look into drizzling for ages

Great to see the comparison with your previous image. Clearly the new location is delivering the right conditions.  |
Cheers Pete, I am under no delusion that my site is anything special by World standards (think the Andes, Namibia, mountains in the desserts in the southern US etc) but I am just thrilled that the conditions are such a noticeable and consistent improvement over my previous observatory site, which I always considered pretty good
...I'm not complaining...and while the likes of drizzle guide and BlurEx are a quick fix, like the yearning for more aperture, I think the quest for better seeing quality miiiight just be able to become a fever too
