Very nice!

Very fine, you caught some very nice proms there!

More mosquitoes. Not on my balcony though when I observe in daytime during the summer... at 60N you can forget about observing in the dark for at least the three months when I think the mosquitoes are most active...

Nice report (glad you survived 😉)! Very nice pic too.

Thanks for the nice comments and likes!

Hi! This is my first sketch on the forum. Had checked the GONG solar H-alpha network before starting, think my transparency was a bit worse than usual, prominence being fainter than expected, but seeing was good (as it uses to be with the 50x magnification!) H-alpha: PST single stack and 8(-24)mm zoom, magnification 50x Pencils 2B and HB, blending stump, eraser, paper Canson Imagine A4, clipboard, solar radius 50 cm with compass. Sketch at the eyepiece.Then turned 180 degrees for uninverting image, information added (directions according to GONG), photographed and cropped

Nice to read this! I have Bortle 3-4 on a driving distance, extraordinary views, accustomed to Bortle 7-8. Took a good view on the dark site finder. Better Bortles are more or less pipe dreams. Though I'd be very interested in how Bortle 1 differs from 2, please report. I'd say go for it, then you can decide if you choose 2 for convenience 😉

Nice get together! Nice splitting and sketches too!

Very nice, fine detail! Green and all 👍 The peak of the "white light" of the sun is green.

Think this nails it. The interpreting can vary, big scale realism. For me starting out with pencil sketching it's about not having too big expectations, it'll come to you. Good enough whatever it is, as long as trying to develop at some level.

Nice report! I have a two hours window to observe between 12 and 2pm on my balcony. Provided it's weekend and nice weather! Fortunately the summer half of the year is clearer than the winter 😶 I'd say the proms on GONG aren't bad at the moment, thanks for noticing👌

Very nice sketch! The red dot on the terminator is a move I haven't seen before, very illustrative! Something I will try to remember when sketching my first sunspot, believe it, that time will come 😉

Hi! Very impressive and suggestive video! You are really feeling we are at the bottom of a sea of atmosphere.

Hi! Right place in the right time, very nice transit capture! Also very good detailed photos of our star.

Hi! Nice find! Intersting they combined the different sources for getting the result.
