Jim, nice image and I admire your endurance in setting up and imaging in those conditions given the bad seeing we have in these winter storm tracks!   Hope no one 'carts away' your scope and mount if left out.  ; )   Ron

The biggest snow storm of the winter hit Toronto yesterday but it paled in comparison to the destruction wrought onto Chicago.  Still my son got a snow day (schools closed) out of it.  It turned clear last night and I got up at 4 AM to try Saturn, yet again.  Seeing was really bad with only brief instances of vaguely passable sharpness.  AstroIIDC did a great job salvaging the data but because it was so poor I thought I'd present it as just a small inset.

I've left my AP400 eq mount and the Skywatcher Dob outside my front doorsteps most of the winter because I got tired of carting stuff away every morning.
