it's really dark no lights within 3 miles

Careful, Neil, you’ll have hordes of visitors if they find out where your caravan is! 😈

Welcome. To learn, and be in awe of, the night sky is where it’s at. Everything else is a refinement.

Enjoy. 🙂

We had our floods a couple of months back but since then it's been almost nonstop clear day and night. Hopefully you guys will get a similar kind of fortune after the rain falls

A couple of months clear?!? Never heard of such a thing ... 🤔

Welcome. Hope you have lots of fun. 🙂

 ... the giant fission machine blasting away and churning energy out into the universe ...

Alex, your enthusiasm is palpable and infectious. Just for reference it’s fusion, not fission, that powers the Sun. (Just to avoid the smart guy who wants to take you down! 😩)

I’ve read some reports from very respectable sources who say they have observed solar features on the move ‘real time’. I cannot claim to have been so fortunate. The best description I came across was that if you go and make a cup of tea you will see some movement on your return to viewing. And I will vouch for that.

Have fun - as you so obviously are. 👌🤗

Welcome. Have fun with the forum.  🙂

Welcome back. Have fun. 🙂

+1 for John’s input. 👍

Welcome to the bright side. Enjoy.

Cycle 25 is showing little wriggles of birth and we shall watch in wonder again. 🌞🤗

... figuring I would be able to spot the sun without too much work.

That’s certainly one’s intuition and you certainly will find it ... but you may be surprised how tricky it can be!

Welcome. Have lots of fun with the hobby and the forum. 🙂

Welcome to the forum. Visual only, I have no advice to offer regarding AP but wish you well - and there are people here who know an awful lot ...

Have fun. 🙂

Welcome. Have lots of fun. 🙂

However, must point out that you are in NW England not NW UK!

Welcome. Have fun with the AP. 🙂
