  1. im getting Frac fever again after looking at"show us your Frac"

  2. Sun is rather fetching today; huge hedgerow complex on the western limb :-)

  3. Solar imaging all the way till August i think, apart from those noctilucent clouds

  4. I don't believe it! Weekend forecast is 100% cloud, yet again! Where are the sunny weekends?

      I hope we are lucky in the morning, David! Look forward to seeing how you get on with the reducer. If it is really clear (I would settle for any clear) I hope to sneak some white light in too if seeing is better than it was today!

      It's not looking good now, I was luckier than I realised this morning. Lucky I can do solar brekkie as I seem to be having reasonable luck mid-week of late. Fingers crossed for Friday morning. they were talking it up on the radio as I drove in to work.

      PS nice proms and spots, get a look if you are lucky to have any clear! Seeing not the best here.

      ant, if they are there, they must be having a great time :-o The only time they've been back was when I was on hols!

      David, I think you may be onto something! I got 30 mins of poor seeing this morning and the forecast was right, I was wrong! Pleiades M45, good luck for some of that lovely sunshine!

  8. The seeing doesn't seem very good but good to look through the scope again

  9. Typical, back to work so the Sun comes out!

  10. 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.

  12. WL solar taking 200x on the sunspots, vg seeing

  13. 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.

  15. 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?

      Good luck, Shaun! I've just read a post by John saying that the seeing is good his way :)

      Thanks Shaun, I have bagged me the moon, I couldn't resist with the goto out already, I don't feel quite up to observing tonight. I think it is because I am mentally keeping my powder dry for Sol before work in the morning, if my luck is in! :-o

      It's stunning, Shaun! :-o Really lucky to have seen it last four days, rotating onto the disc! Today's high class problem is, should I image the moon too. It looks nice and high today :)

  18. YAY customs paid focuser lands on Tuesday !!!

  19. Sorry about my absence this week. I will make up for it this weekend. Hope everyone is enjoying the Sun this morning :-)

  20. Stunning Ha views in the Quark, SW120ED giving photo like views

  21. 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

  23. Looks like my solar imaging streak will be broken today :( 14 consecutive days!

  24. Aargh, windows update decided to happen just as I was setting my scope up, took 45 minutes. Then firecapture didn't want to work and now clouds. :(

      Windows update strikes again :-o You did very well not hitting it with a hammer. I am assuming you didn't hit it with a hammer. Hope it all behaves for you next time out.
