Ok thank you for putting me right.

I've noticed that the SX50 has such reach that a photo that might otherwise come out OK suffers from stuff like air turbulence! Astronomers call it "seeing". The bending of light where warm and cold air distort the light.
Here are two photos of the same thing taken on different days from roughly the same location at maximum zoom. The photo taken on a day with good "seeing" is sharp and clear. The one that I actually took this morning suffers from the ripples in the air from warm and cold bending and distorting the light.
The third photo is from where I took both photos, one exact, the other about the same place.
