I have to get myself one of those fleas! How many mega pixels/fps were you running?
Stephen

Thanks Stephen, the Flea3 is only 640 x 480 pixels. I run the R & G channels at 35 fps with B at 25 fps and 807nm IR at 11 fps. R, G & B exposures are 93 sec's per channel with 180 sec's for 807nm IR.
The thing about the Flea3 is the number of frames per channel that can be captured, it is capable of 120 fps. For this data set the seeing was so bad that I through away more than half the frames captured from each channel.

Oh well..

Thanks Asi, I think we all make an effort when presented with some clear sky, regardless of the predictions and often it turns out to be quite futile however the thing that I was most frustrated about on May 16th was the Skippy Sky prediction of 9/10 for both seeing & transparency for my region. I stuck with it for 3 hrs thinking that it would surely pick up at some point but it just remained abysmal.

John.

Thanks John, the interest still remains as to just how long this storm can be sustained and if it will last long enough to create a new record for Saturn.

Thanks Ray, hopefully there will be stable air on the way, soon.
