Trevor I reckon your processing skills are excellent now; yes the peltiers really make a huge difference to how we determine seeing. I have heard lots of people say the seeing is rubbish when in fact it is their optics that are causing the problem. You would now appreciate how much cooling has affected you own judgement of seeing.
Like you I thought the seeing was good last night until I had a quick check on my good data I keep on tap that I took in June and last year. I quickly realised that the seeing was ok but not exceptional. I find that referring back to good data often helps in the determination of seeing. Especially when one has not imaged for several weeks (or in my case months), the excitement of getting some data at last can make one think they are onto something big. Not saying this was with you, but I can appreciate how this happens even with myself.
This is still good data and JUPOS will find the data very useful. I find the colour balance between our images is also very similar, perhaps there was some particulate matter that was shared over the distance and had an effect of providing a wash in the colour.
Such a great and dynamic planet, it will soon be gone for us and then we are onto Saturn. Imagine the images we will get then. But I digress.
Well done again.
