Jure, the general feeling has been that very few people get to observe under
personal LMs better than 7.5 - and that doing so may actually make your data
problematic to correct back to a "standard" LM of 6.5 for ZHR calculations.

Of course problematic or not, it sure makes observing more fun, doesn't it? ;>

What I generally do under better-than-7.5 circumstances is to use the IMO LM
counting areas, report any counts above 7.5 as 7.5, but carefully record all
my actual counts in those areas - just in case the tables are ever extended.

Clear skies!
