Good seeing but windy 25th May
I managed to set up early and measure the SSM seeing initially below 1 arc sec.

However the wind shook the telescope around, so a completely clear sky was only partially usable. There is always something that needs optimising! Later on it became hazy as well.
I tried WL with Skywatcher 200 Newtonian, ND3.8, Continuum, UV/IR cut and PGR Ch3.

15 second cadence, lots of gaps from wind shake and haze.
Then PST mod 150mm f1200mm Barlow x3. UV/IR cut. 30 second cadence. bin x2
And a FD LS60DS

Hi Robert
A great collection - the WL animation is very interesting - what is the time frame of the vid?
