Description

Two typhoons have just passed within a week. Consequently trusting that the air was clean and transparent, but no, wrong, it was humid and highly unstable in addition to the company of mosquitos. Thanks to these little beasts I was reassured that I am still tasty, hey, only the females bite.

Anyway, the result of the day is hardly an improvement over previous planet images, but the first in September while tracking was exceptional. The lunar images in the revision rounded up and concluded the session as slowly moving, almost stationary, autumn clouds obstructed all targets while the laptop and the Newton mirror fogged up with increasing air humidity. Nothing beats good seeing and dry air, but whom am I telling this?
