First Light???!!!!

Hi All,
I couldn't believe my eyes,Stars were out last night. So i finally got the 150x1200 refractor out to have a look. Been waiting for over 3 months,great excitement and great expectations!!!!
I finally got everything outside and setup. Look up at Mars,Yep it's clear. Muck around with the Toucam and here comes the thin wispy cloud. Shot 3 lots of AVI around 80mb each (700frames approx).
Then at about 12:30am turned attention to the moon and it's the same Crap
What have i done to deserve this?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway here is the end result. I class this as disgusting! NOT HAPPY JAN! The seeing was bad Mars was dancing all over the video live view.
Anyway at least i got out! Interestingly i can't recall any halo or fringing so am very happy with the scope
Cheers,
Duncan
