As I said, that's the plan
Was in town last night, Canberra CBD, looking over the top of a nearby tram station with lots of side facing lights of course (becasue that's where you need the light right??), on a heavily lit arterial Rd and intersection = no comet visible from our apartment balcony

My bet is that you'll measure better seeing with it on good nights -
perhaps 2 x 0.68" = 1.36 arc seconds now?

Hope you are right, I think you will be, in the end it's the final image that counts of course

Probably not a lot in it going from 4.54 to 3.69 microns but if you are going for the really faint stuff it may make a difference.

Yeah, not the best comparison, other than I guess to graphically show how much fainter the Ha signal is in a nearby galaxy compared to the luminance! I think I was strangely relieved that it all worked and just felt like sharing
