From the minute i walked outside, i knew the seeing was looking very good.

no wind and the crisp clear very little sparkle from the sky.

Scope was cooling with the new system, but whilst that was happening, i chucked in 12.5 mm (100x) ep and looked at mars, nice detail!, ok 6.5mm (200x), very nice, ok 12.5mm with a 2.4x barlow (240x), still very clear. 6.5mm with a 2.4x barlow (462), detail was lost, but still the shape was pretty good.

over to the trap and 6 stars. best view i have had of this one!!!

Took some video of little mars and also saturn.

I have not hand picked, just a quick run thru with registax and astra image.

I have done a ME @ 8 x 5 radius i think.

anyway, the images of saturn are getting better. I will hand pick the best out of each r,g,b avi's and then see how that turns out
