Thank you everyone, for your words of appreciation; good seeing is indeed good!
Rob, the filter is a home made full aperture filter using Baader Astro Solar Film, the photo density variant. Using this, I can expose the DMK at its maximum frame rate of 30fps, at 1/2000 sec with the Gain set between 320 and 350 depending on the altitude of the Sun and the transparency of the skies.
In experiments to squeeze more out of the seeing, my findings with my set up did not appear to deliver any improvement if I set the exposure to 1/4000 or even 1/10,000 sec and adjusted the gain upwards accordingly.
Cheers
Dennis
