I'm fairly new to astrophotography and probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between good and excellent seeing, but I have been curious about what the effects would be.

Last December I took some images of comet Leonard and it was about 10 degrees above the horizon in the West. I set myself up about 1 km from the Hunter river, just north of Newcastle and I really didn't know if the water or content in the air was going to spoil or improve things. Nearby Grahamstown dam is a much larger body of water and I was wondering if I could use that to my advantage or stay as far away from as possible.

Temperature fluctuations makes sense. I think that's more pronounced over hard terrain so all in agreeance there. Just wanted to reach out here to see if I missed anything obvious.

Mozzies are the worst.. hehe..
