Thanks guys!
The seeing was 5/10 for the early part of the session, barely tolerating a x2.5 PowerMate or x3 Barlow and I almost packed up just before midnight. I then got distracted and had to go indoors and when I returned to the ‘scope, the seeing had improved slightly so I though I should persevere.
Around 00:30am some real moments of 7/10 began to appear, so I plugged in the x4 and managed to squeeze off 5 AVI’s before the seeing deteriorated again. Around 1:00am I did the meridian flip (a new astro dance!) and by the time I had Jupiter centred again, it had all gone to mush; even the x2 Vixen Barlow was too much. So, it really was a small window of opportunity where it came good.
Cheers
Dennis
