Hi all
In spite of critical turbulence this morning I was able to manage some
avis where it's possible to barely see the large WOS discovered by Ikemura.
The attached image it's the best of all; on early evening the turbulence
was impressive: Mars was twinkling, too, and the focusing really impossible.
Time flowing, a certain improvement has been there so I was able to
distinguish Saturn from the stars around...

Seeing was below average and transparency was bad (polluted air blew from
the industrial area in Mainland China) I could not used F34 as it was still
underexposed even I gained 100% with ToUcam ... I had to reduce to F24 with
4X televue barlow.
Kind Regards
