And thanks for the welcome. Yes, first time posts here. I hope to get a bit more into ap later this year and finally get a setup that is a bit more than just parts hobbled together, haha.

One more question regarding seeing, and I think I can guess this, but is the air generally better in winter than in summer? I have the idea that humidity is less in winter so that should be the better season to benefit from good seeing?
Yeah I think it depends a lot on location. And annual variations.
Nothing is perfect. Colder temperatures are better for all our sensors but numb fingers are not. Moisture levels can behave strangely. Sometimes stars fade as the moisture condenses out and you hardly notice. From dry to wet in 10 minutes But it can add some lovely coloured haloes around wide angled star shots for nice effects as a positive.
