Other than the 90% Moon
, I had some great conditions again on Thursday night, clear, low humidity, very cold (got to -5C) and very stable atmosphere for most of the night, with excellent seeing, average raw FWHM from 7:30pm - 11:30pm sat very steady between 1.6" - 1.8" then after I'd crossed the meridian and flipped, it deteriorated slowly to about 2.3" as the western horizon approached. I had a couple of technical glitches during the night
(a rare occurrence for me) but all sorted (?) and never the less, managed to still collect almost 5hrs of useable Halpha data. I used the best 3.5hrs or so (FWHM < 1.8") for the brightest areas and the entire 4.7hrs for the outer regions, to get a little deeper in these areas
Can't wait to get the rest of the NB and colour data next clear night
