16.08.2020 Continued: Late afternoon captures.

*

18.00 90/81F. After a long hot day I returned to the fray to try and capture in better seeing.

There was greater clarity but not unlike looking through simmering water.

The changes in the filaments are very obvious over the period of these processed  captures.

As usual I experimented with processing in ImPPG and PhotoFiltre.

I could see dark streaks, probably  birds, racing across the field of view but too fast to identify the exact cause.

The 2x GPC was probably providing 3m of focal length.

While the small chip of the ZWO '174 camera amplified this considerably thanks to the crop factor.
