Nice image! Great colour/CD/image scale!!

I've been thinking a LOT about 'transparency' lately...when you say "trans 5/10" do you mean it was 50% cloudy?

The reason I ask is just recently I was out, & got mars/Saturn on the laptop screen & it was the BEST I've ever seen it! It was about 5 at the most seeing conditions. I could also turn the gain to zero & it still looked great, where as normally this is not the case for me...I usually have to have 50% plus gain to get a pleasing image on the screen. I'm thinking humidity in the air??

Signed,

Confused
