Solartastic Sunday - 18th September

[markt]

For once the weather forecast was right today - they promised a 'glorious' end to the day. It took till about 5 o'clock before it had cleared for long enough to get the 6 panes I need for a full disk. I was initially wary, the view from the DMK on the laptop screen seemed rather wobbly, and lacking in the contrast I know is possible on the best of days - the sun is getting low very quiclky as we approach the equinox. However as the first panes started to come out of avistack I knew it wasn't as bad as I first thought.

Todays sun is another solartastic day - oodles of things going on - filaments, spots, active regions, filaproms... The only thing you could say was missing is large proms; there were plenty of ickle ones...

You're lucky Mark. I managed 1/2 an AVI and then the clouds rolled in!!

Great mosaic.....again.

I still have much to learn.

Beautiful detail. I was shooting a mosaic as well but the clouds beat me to the SE corner of the disk lol

Cracking image!! Nicely done and good to see the disk left in greyscale. The features are more distinct.
