Long frustrating wait for some blue today , and poor seeing when it came ... 

Had to stick with it though as missing three consecutive days would have been a real downer ...

You mean we had sunshine before you??? miracles do happen and I found the Sun in 2 minutes (due to the hubby's little trick)

Fantastic work Steve

Wow, I didn't realise you'd been TWO days without sun! Things must have been bad lately!

Well done, very nice result.

Nice one Steve, patience paid off again. Really bright start to today, but too much mist to try solar imaging and a date with my sailing boat put paid to any imaging. Never mind 2 days, I reckon it's been about 2 weeks now for me.

missing three consecutive days would be first this year i am guessing? nice end result anyway, there was some nice proms and surface action today between the clouds.

[Floater]

Lovely stuff, as usual.

Managed to grab a sneak view for only a few minutes. Lovely to have that chance - and also managed to put to the test my new sun finder, a Helio-Pod.

And Luke, you're a rascal, I suspect. Did you have your tongue in your cheek when you wrote 'TWO days without sun' ...?

I 'sacrificed' a day's session on Friday and took a drive down to the Royal Greenwich Observatory , couldn't pass up on the opportunity to meet up with Stephen W. Ramsden , Pedro Re and Alan Traino ... 

Was going to take the away-day rig down but the forecast was for thunderstorms all day so left it at home ... could have grabbed a disc as it turned out but there , the only storm in the area flooded one of the tunnels on the A12 just above the Blackwall Tunnel turning an hour and a half journey home into a four and three-quarter hour marathon ...

Glad you found today's little "gap" - good images.

Two days without sun is pretty normal for me, even though I am very lucky that I have a chance to grab some rays during lunch at work and can just catch the Sun all year around from home (ducking under a telegraph pole wire here and there). I think my recent six day blank has been my worst since I got hopelessly hooked on solar.

But Steve, who shoots through black clouds and gets a good result anyway using the Force?! Two days?! As it turns out, he was out at Greenwich for one

Hats off, Steve, remarkable how many discs you have nabbed this year :icon_salut:

'Hopelessly hooked on solar'.

May I suggest 'helplessly' - for without hope we are lost ...!

Good image Steve, i tried with Vixen/1000D combo today, ended up binning 200 frames as i had disk but no detail, my fault for trying to be clever with camera settings
