Finally got some decent seeing and was able to collimate my scope.I think the focus is better too.What do you think?

Thanks Guys,
All images taken with celestron edge hd c11,DMK 21AUS camera,televue 2.5 powermate,astronomik RGB filters for Jupiter.The seeing was REALLY good for a change.I collimated the scope first (my previous images were fuzzy) and seeing was so good I actually saw the elusive airy disk.I then used a Bahtiniv mask to focus on Vega and slewed to the moon to check focus.It seemed good so I took a few AVIs and then slewed to Jupiter.It was well worth only getting three hours of sleep to get up to catch the good seeing.
