Mars through a telescope which was possibly too cold jonkristoffersen 2010-10-12 | This illustrates the strange effect I sometimes get when observing and imaging in cold weather at high altitude. Even though the seeing was really good, and the telescope completely cooled down, there were these strange distortions. I believe this was because parts of the telescope had cooled to well below the ambient air temperature through radiation cooling, with cold air falling down through the light path and causing these distortons.
