Seeing moderate, transparency a bit low.

Welcome to my astronomy blog, I dedicate myself to the simplest form of amateur astronomy which requires only portable equipment. I have two small refractors, two small binoculars, one small GOTO mount and another small equatorial mount, and a small H-alpha solar filter. Originally from a city where the people were proud of their light pollution, that is Hong Kong where I loved. Relocated to the UK since 2021.
Moderate seeing, poor transparency, I failed to tune the Tmax and Richview properly still....
With reducer 0642 (UT)
Very poor seeing, nearly zero detail, very hard even to focus, this is a shot with reducer:
0646 (UT).
On leave at home doing some solar imaging, seeing becomes slightly better, transparency similar.
0722 (UT), I managed to get full disc with the reducer at a longer distance from the camera. Rich view and T-max was not tuned well so that the bright spot was apparent.
I have conducted experience to use MONO16 instead of MONO8 but the frame rate was reduced to less than 10 fps with my slow notebook. The SER file was not well processed as well, AS! support was less than perfect.
