Couldn't resist using the title because of the ongoing SCT thread smile. I'm one of them "obstruction challenged" astronomers.

Got tired of playing with Guide Dog last night so I shot some sequences. This one is 524 frames from 1132. Seeing was 3~4/10 with very large undulations and transparency was 3/6 with high thin clouds - like shooting from the bottom of the pool smile. Thought it came out pretty good considering. Might have pushed the processing a bit too much..

Celestron NS11 - Toucam 840 - TV 3X Barlow - K3CCD - Registax - Images Plus and PhotoShop CS - image reduced 30%

Best,

AND - HAPPY EASTER!
