Very bad seeing

An attempt with the C8 today. Very difficult with bad seeing. Not as sharp as I wished.

Thanks Mark.

I used astrosurface for the stacking but did not use the wavelets of other filters. That was done with IMPPG, which gave me better results. (but i could have settings wrong in astrosurfacce.

Hi,

Great resolution. Looking at SDO magnetogram it looks like a cycle 25 spot.

Yes. I just caught two pores in the AR. Went in to check out the SDO continuum image and it shows them! They are very small. They are close to the limit of my 70mm scope.
