Luckily for me, my rig has 3.05"/px resolution, so the seeing is never my primary concern, not compared to moon phase and just having visible stars...

I love to complain, but at least its bortle 4 ~ 4.5, life could be a lot worse!
Hey man, we all make the best of what we got and you definitely do a bloody incredible job with what you have! I took my first astrophoto in 1982 at the age of 14/15 (not quite sure which exactly) and it took 40 years, four observatories, many cameras and lots of telescopes, to realise what was the dream of that 15 year old, an observatory on a genuine mountain, so I'm keen to make the most of it while I can, cause I ain't likely to have any better before I leave the land of the living,
