Pericles Enache
A reasonable weather condition at last,despite of the high altitude and strong jet stream of 39 m/s.
Some few cirrus clouds,ground temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and relative¬humidity¬of¬43%.
Zero wind collaborated¬to a steady and nicely centered image in the ROI.

Mark Lonsdale
This image was captured in mediocre seeing. In my previous image (6 August),
where I saw a seeming anomaly in the polar hexagon around CM1=2 degrees.
Looking at other recent images around the same CM,
I conclude that it must have been an artefact,probably caused by rather poor seeing.

Peter Edwards
Still only 20 degrees altitude from the UK,hence using IR as luminance. No sign of the Polar Hexagon this year.

Constantin Sprianu
Not so great seeing.
