Another scorcher today so I started early and stopped as seeing degraded and I had reached my sweat quota! Seeing was good but transparency was hindered by the soupy, humid atmosphere. I'll post the SSM chart for each animation. Most activity was subtle so I sped up the animations greatly to highlight the movement. The most interesting was the prom on the Western Limb. Lunt LS60T DS, ASI174MM, Meade 3X Tele-extender for the closeups. Today I clocked my DS unit just a bit and I think it did a great job of removing the banding. I also utilized flats for the animations.
