This morning the seeing was seemingly better than yesterday afternoon. I managed to get a fairly good set of images. Sometimes Registax produces strange grid in the finest wavelet layer, even when no resampling is used. So happened with this set. However IRIS does equally good job, or even better, so I decided to process this set using it. Interestingly despite of better seeing, the resolution did not improve from yesterday. Maybe ST80 was a bit too small for this resolution.
