Seeing conditions of late (Sydney)
These last few weeks have been pretty average observing for me. As a noob I am wondering has this been due to poor seeing conditions or is it possibly my scope.
I've had my Meade 8" LX90GPS for 2 months now and planetary objects (Jupiter of late) seem a bit fuzzy and very hard to get a sharp image from. I've checked the collimation by defocusing and according to my Meade manual its pretty good. My 10mm Televue radian is furry and even the 26mm meade plossl isnt great (it shows Jupiter with a blue flare on one side and a yellow flare on the other).
So, have conditions been less than ideal this last fortnight in Sydney?
