The seeing conditions last night were well below average, which does affect image quality, but it was a nice night again to sit out and observe, drink my coffee, and I was able to nab a capture :) Poor seeing is caused by turbulence combined with temperature differences in the atmosphere. Fingers are crossed for some nights of "good seeing" and stable a stable atmosphere :)
