Thanks for that information Eric, I don't own a moon filter, but I certainly feel that it wouldn't go astray.
It wasn't super high at the time, so I will try tomorrow night.
I wouldn't say that there were any local thermals due to the causes you mention, however I assume that a $29 4mm GSO superplossl is likely to be extremely susceptable to "anything" in the atmosphere?
My basic opinion is that the view was "bright", regardless of eyepiece. Whilst I saw less of the humidity type distortion in less magnified views, I never felt like I was gaining any better detail. I mean, essentially, I could look at it through a 25mm and see the same thing.
Could collimation be required, could that be a root cause?
