The upshot being that it became impossible to focus accurately let alone attept any imaging, the stars looked like they were doing some type of stellar rap dance all over the monitor.
I continued on for another hour hoping that it would die down but to no avail the wind was here to stay for the night. In the end I packed up empty handed and frustrated.
It's another clear day again here but the wind is still hanging around.

I was out under the stars and a full moon last night. There was no cloud and no wind but something didn't feel right. No wind + No cloud =
Bad
Everything was set up ready to go. I plug in the camera and slew the scope to Saturn. It felt just like any other night but when I tried to achieve focus all I got was a
BLOB with rings.
The seeing was so **** that even the moon looked like a
BLOB with craters.
What can you do?
