Weather permitting, I might get out tonight and just do some visual stuff - so much less complicated and relaxing! No post session processing too!

yep you betcha. Just made a cat cooler from bits and pieces and will try out. I am use to 0-2/10 anyway. The cat cooler should boost it to a 6/10.

It's actually alright out here tonight.. I have to hold my breath while focusing though, cause otherwise the fog from my mouth obscures my view of the screen!

Yep. I'm all set up.
The 9.25's been outside since 5pm.
The ToUcam's been modded and is already plugged in.
We're at 1.5 degrees and falling. Humidity 95%, so I've got the Kendrick dew heater fired up.
Gonna be a cold one here again. We had minus 7 overnight last night
The scope has a bit of trouble keeping pace with the temp differential.
Anyway, like Mike says ... here comes Big and Little Red!

Is that what that was. Looked more like an utter thrashing by the score.

theres a link inthe resources section of this site to weather. that is the jetstream, i believ (and i am probably wrong) that is i high altitude wind, which can affect seeing.

Hey Mr Bob.
As Ving said, check out the
Resources section of the site to go to the Weather Resources page.
As Ving also said, it's showing the jetstream, which is high altitude winds which can affect seeing (in a negative way). Ideally you want no jetstream.
