At least with nights of average seeing one can get reasonable data for DSO imaging. Maybe not luminence but certainly the RGB.

Great seeing

Average seeing.

Long and the short of it though and for those wanting to learn about seeing, Mikes point is well made. Luminence should only be gathered near the meridian and during good seeing. Likewise planetary imaging should not be conducted in poor seeing. If you are using one shot colour, well image when the seeing is best if you can, but if you have constant cloud, image whether the seeing is good or bad.
Yeh! that's a hell of a difference mate

We are all in the same boat when the seeing doesn't cooperate

I hope the comparison was helpful to people anyway
