When you know your seeing is baaad....!
A beautiful blue sky day ruined by appalling seeing from my location. NOTHING worthwhile keeping at any image scale or wavelength this morning....such a disappointment.
Large file, so it might take a little while to run.

I had high hopes of capturing the main active regions in WL and CaK too.
Thanks for looking.

Oh that is ugly! But a wonderful example of poor seeing! A lot what it looks like when I am getting heat waves off of my neighbors roof.

Re: When you know your seeing is baaad....!
I was the same way today. Five hours of work and nothing.
I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Hi Stuart...
Sad to see the seeing ruining any ability to collect useful data
That seeing looks like mine some days, especially int he winter without any snow cover on the fields.

Re: When you know your seeing is baaad....!
What is this strange, round object you have captured Stu?
I vaguely remember something like this before the sky became dystopian.
I think it begins with an "S"...

Re: When you know your seeing is baaad....!
Yup. I had that last week when I was doing a live stream from the telescope for work. We were looking at the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn, and it was like they were all at the bottom of a swimming pool.
