some pretty bad seeing early this morning/last night but my chances for imaging after tomorrow night will likely be limited due to incoming storm cycle rest of the week.

 

this is the best 8% of a single ser file.  i wonder how much of my local crappy seeing is due to all the wood stoves in the neighborhood???  i don't run mine when imaging. . i've also included a screen grab from autostakert of the best frame.

 

Diameter=16.42"
Magnitude=0.83

FocalLength=3350mm
Resolution=0.23"

Frames captured=71073
File type=SER
Binning=no
ROI=272x258
FPS (avg.)=197
Shutter=5.059ms
Gain=256 (42%)

Particles in the air from wood fires are a nightmare, would say you are spot on about quite a contributor to your seeing.

Well done for trying, not bad considering the conditions.

Likely didn't impact the seeing per se, but particles for sure. Likely impacted overall transparency.

 

I was out two nights ago trying to image Mars and here's how thick the smoke was from my neighbor's outdoor wood stove. Collimation laser beam was solid.

 

 

Probably not great for the mirror coatings....
