The morning didn't start too good with a deluge of rain we had in the area.  Managed to catch a lift off in action .  Don't know that I can say the seeing was good because it wasn't.

Nice catch and recording of a fairly faint lift off that challenges also keeping disc detail.

That is a great image with the Powermate.  You know I have a 2.5x too, I will have to try and fit it into my optical train it has an odd sized adapter for my main solar cameras.
