Hello all.
This is my latest image of Saturn, hopefully I'm not being too repetitive, but this is a new image taken Tuesday morning (December 2, 2003).
The seeing in Edmonton was pretty good, but frosty. I find also that since I do my observing from my deck which is facing north-northwest, that have to shoot directly over my house during the best observing times. I frequently get interference from heat waves wafting up from my house, particularly from the heater vent so I find I have to turn the heater down during my observing sessions. Even the small crack in the sliding door to my deck (to facilitate the cables to my computer) allows enough heat to escape and waft up into the line of site, ruining many a frame.
Strange problems one must overcome, but I certainly have food for thought when it will come time to build a permanent observatory!
