Global warming?

P.S. What equipment are you using? The shots look great. Cant wait for a good seeing night to come by.

Thanks Benno, my images are captures with with a highly modified 16" Newt on a GEM that was designed and built by me. It has a JMI moto focus, Peltier cooler and Anssen Technologies dual axis drive & drive corrector. I use a DMK 21AU04.AS CCD, Orion manual filter wheel, Astronomik type II RGB filters, Astronomik IR Planet Pro 807 filter and a Televue 3x Barlow.

I have attached 2 images to this reply taken in good to very good seeing, one of them has been resampled 150% but the original was of high enough resolution that it still looks good.

Thanks Mike, these are pretty ordinary but they still have detail that is measurable. I have been spoiled this year with a run of good seeing, I think conditions such as those for this session really makes me appreciate the periods of good seeing even more.
