Comments: My trail run March 2nd actually resulted in some useable data. I was able to acquire Saturn at an alt of 10 degrees but it was mostly just an unstable quivering mass. As it rose from 10 to 14 degrees the live feed cleaned up enough to capture data and at 16 degrees with the Sun just below the horizon and the sky quite blue it cleaned up even more, not great data but reasonable for the alt. Have uploaded two of the three data sets along with an animation which also included an image that was captured at 11 degrees alt to demonstrate just how significant the rise in altitude was to the resulting data. The animation included 9 min (6 x 90sec) data sets at 11, 14 and 16 degrees altitude.
