Sad Mars
Well, beset with bad seeing for the last month, I am getting pretty desperate to post an image.
Last night the seeing was as per normal at 3/10. Was not impressed, but figured it might improve. It didn't. I did test a few things out though, in particular the whole notion of wave fronts showing themselves in my scope as it cooled. I took the cover off just before sunset and it was still showing fronts 2 hours later. I think by 10pm it had finally got near enough to ambient temp. Will definitely get the SCT cooler for the new scope.
Anyway here is a less than satisfactory image of Mars.
