These really are outstanding images, Alfred.
My old eyes don't seem to mind a little extra sharpening.

Thanks Phil and Dan for your kind comments.

Phil, I am not exactly young too (60), struggles with focusing during recording :)

This imaging session clearly showed that seeing can make a big difference in the quality of image captured. I have attached a picture showing a good recording made at 8:31am local time and a poorer quality image at 8:43am.

Please do a right -click to see the images in full resolution.

I was told that one way of ensuring that only good recordings are made is to use an SSM to trigger the recording when the seeing is better than the set level. I have yet to do this.

Currently I make a minimum of 4 recordings when I have good focus and stability in image quality (visual assessment on my notebook computer screen) to ensure that I have at least 1 good one. On good days, I have about 70% good recording. On 11 June, I only had 1 good in 4 recording.

What kind of "success rate" (with SSM) do you normally get when doing Hi-res imaging?

Alfred
