Is there any use for the seeing monitor for non planetary non solar, or non lunar?

thanks,

Malcolm

Hi,

pretty limited beyond solar system targets I think... I guess you could use it for short exposure deep sky lucky imaging on some of the brighter DSOs, but you have a couple of issues - relatively slow frame rates will make acquiring data to set a threshold tedious and the noise in the images will tend to confuse the contrast measurements.

cheers,
