A few images from this morning. I did try out my 250mm RCT but there wasn't a scrap of useful data in any of the videos so they all ended up in the bin. I did have a little more success with my DS 150/Lunt 35 mod.
First up, some FDs in CaK and Ha:

I'll try the RCT again tomorrow if the conditions are up to it.
Thanks for looking.

The little surge was very pretty, I saw that too
A great set Stuart I hope you were more successful with the RCT today, the seeing seemed fairly good to me
