I had to start a new solar thread for the hottest day of the year

[Pig]

There are some lovely bright proms in the 12 O'clock position and rather a large one In the 3 O'clock position.

If you have a zoom lens close ups of the northern proms are nothing short of fantastic...stunning, they are so bright

The surface detail is fantastic all over the disc but there are some lovely scrolls around and about spot 2373and the closest point of the limb to it. the granulation is swirling around all over the place.

Back off out I go  I just came in for my second litre of tonic water.

Been imaging with Quark and visual with LS60 on and off all day, nice proms the one North of 2373 has been changing shape all day.

Dave 2373 is giving some fantastic views  A Lunt and a Quark .... cant be bad

Alan protection and plenty of fluids are a must in this kind of heat

Great post Shaun, I just set the Quark up, amazing detail in the one area for sure. I thought tonic water was used as a mix for something...

Its supposed to go with Gin and a slice of lime Gerry, but I only drink alcohol on the Sabbath

Nice report, Shaun, I did the cooler morning shift, though I did have to take my jacket off as it warmed up   The prom near the big AR looked lively and I liked the solo spot a little lower down. Some interesting activity more central, lower down, despite no spots.

When I saw the forecast Luke I thought to myself  that it would be cloudy by the time I got home from work   How wrong was I, it made a great change and it was still very hot around 5:30.

I am going to get up early tomorrow and get a session in before I go to work

[Luke]

I was surprised how hot it was this evening, Shaun! 30 degrees at 6:30pm!

I can only do morning shifts during the week at the mo, no lovely solar evenings, so I am up as soon as the woodpecker taps at my window

[Pig]

Is that woodpecker thingy a euphemism for something sexy

I have a red woodpecker that visits me in the garden sometimes, its quite impressive
