It finally cleared after two weeks of cloudiness.  It was about -14ºC this morning with occasional wind gusts that rocked the dob and caused smearing of the images despite 15fps shooting speed.  Which is why I stacked so few frames, I visually selected only those that were truly sharp and not suffering from some smearing effects.  Noise was very low since I was able to shoot with very low gains.

Tomorrow CSC is predicting ultimate seeing!  It's also supposed to be milder so I try imaging with my C8 as well.
