Decisions , decisions ... do you shoot through the cloud with decent seeing behind it , or wait for a possible late gap with almost guaranteed poor seeing ... ?

I'll take the grey route every time ...

How about grey skies when all you can see is grey

[David Smith]

Certainly hasn't done too much harm to your image, look at the detail around that large spot

[Steve Ward]

A thin sliver of blue let me in for some close-ups after lunch , poor seeing as expected but enough decent data to get the job done ...

All depends on your interpretation of 'grey' ... and just how far you are confident to push the envelope with your kit ....

Looking at it I'd need to push the scope up about a thousand feet

A great result Steve. 

Very sunny up here from lunch time onwards, bagged Ha before going out with the dog and going to get my WL now.

[Luke]

I decided to stay indoors

Well done on another victory against the clouds. Still not convinced you live in the UK :grin:

[Steve Ward]

Trust me I'm just 40-odd miles up the road , David , Alexandra and Robin will vouch for me I hope ...

you certainly do, i think we met a few years back?

very nice image as always, right to grab whatever conditions are around and if it improves grab them as well!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Nice shots Steve. Lot of fine detail there

[sooot]

Through cloud...nice one

I can verify that Steve lives in what is known as a 'sunny spot'. Whether that is 40 miles up the road from you Luke I couldn't say for sure, but there is a lot of photographic evidence that he lives somewhere in Suffolk. Perhaps he has a double or maybe a satellite in geostationary orbit?

Or maybe he is just very lucky/keen?

Either way I am willing to bet that his grass is normally quite tall, someone who solar images this much couldn't possibly have a well trimed lawn.

[Steve Ward]

Very true Robin , very true ... 

Can't be letting all that Solar energy get into the ground and spoiling the seeing when released , and I prefer a garden full of varied creepy-crawlies to a bowling green ...
