I don't believe it! Weekend forecast is 100% cloud, yet again! Where are the sunny weekends?
-
Have packed most of the solar gear away, rain has suspended play. I wouldn't bother with such small, fast-moving gaps but the seeing looks decent, the gaps are a beautiful blue and the big AR was smoking away. ! Hope some others are sneaking a view or shot in.

Am rolling the dice this morning, have set up for solar imaging with Quark and Equinox 120, hoping to get some images before the clouds get here. Will be a long 20 minutes waiting for the sun to clear the tree! Good luck to any other early birds.

Beautiful crisp morning out there, hoping to take some solar snaps for brekky. Good luck to those at the Sunnyside Cafe this morning or tuning into Pig Radio.

Yikes that happens to me too, Shaun. On my Summer hols last year, when I couldn't be with my beloved Equinox 120 and Quark, I had images every single day! :-o 17 days of 'em. Anyway, the filaprom was looking magnificent, and there were a few nice filaments either side of it. I noticed some faint plasma jutting some way out from the disc, looks like a little burst happened earlier and I caught the latter stages. Have a nice time in Italy, I would drink a Peroni to you if I had one :D

Still cloudy here, am hoping a few gaps will show up this avo for a bit of solar, I can't get enough of the prom -> filaprom -> filament big 'un, looks to be still there in good shape on Gong?

Wowsers, well I have to see how it stacks and processes, but I have just taken some full disc single tile captures with the Quark and my Tele Vue 60. All the talk of the Quark and its 4.3x Barlow and I am imaging not too far from my SolarMax 60 at prime focus! I need to see what the results are like, but I am so surprised to be seeing a full disc in the capture software! :-o

Hmmm I may have jumped the gun. my early stacking and processing does not look promising! Complicating matters is that the seeing was horrendous, I took a few white light full discs too and they are not that great either. So I may need a second shot to check if it is viable! :-o Shaun when are you gonna get imaging, you know that ASI174 is a good deal :D

Lost: sunny weather forecast at weekends. Last seen: January 2015. Suspect: BBC Weather. Reward for safe return: dose of Vitamin C.
