The sky is nice and clear now, and the seeing is improving from "horrendous" to just "bad". What are the best types of targets for these conditions? Should I just keep adding time to various galaxies I have started and hope for the best? Look for something else? Stay home and work on processing?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Charlie

(looks like things should be better by the end of the weekend...)

I've read many tutorials on LRGB which talk about blurring your binned color channels intentionally.... maybe mother nature can do that step for you?
