Having waited 6 weeks for a decent sky, I ventured out in the balmy 22degF with below average seeing / transp. "Best" 400 frames stacked from C11 and 2.5X with Toucam at 1/25s, 50%Br, 35%Gam, 33%Gain, 100%Sat. Clouds moved in within an hour. Sometimes it just feels good to get out there again - even in bad seeing...

Regards,
Steve

A nice image for the seeing Steve. I know what you mean about waiting for good seeing. The northeast US is a frustrating place to do lunar & planetary imaging. :S
I was also going to try Saturn with average seeing, but decided to stay in by the warm fire. grin
