Hello,
Last night ( the 8th ) was nice and clear, but the condensation simply ran off the telescope, and eyepieces fogged up in minutes.
However, I stayed up to have a go at imaging Mars, and by 2.0am the planet was well up in the North East, but by that time wispy cirrus was starting to cover the sky so I got a few minutes of AVI. The seeing was terrible, so I reluctantly packed it in about 2.30am. The image of Mars showed nothing but a blurry blob.
Regards,
Virgo.
