We finally had a brief spell of reasonably good seeing, probably the best that we’re going to get this year, so I think that this is getting close to as good as I’m going to get with the C11 and I’m pretty happy with it. I have one more thing that I want to try to see if I can pull out a little more detail, but I’m also anxious to try my 12” f/8 Meade ACF and at least a brief test with my trusty C9.25. With the moon waning towards last quarter I’ll be switching back over to deepsky imaging for a couple of weeks, so I’ll have a little time to think about it.
So much to try, so few clear nights!
