Haven't seen any postings lately so figured you guys are seeing grey skies out there in the UK. Had a chance to get out today so figured I'd share whats going on.

For the life of me could not compose a FD mosaic today, so just a couple sections of the disc. While I was recording AR1596 was crackling with bright plasma. The feature changed so rapidly I couldn't merge some images after processing. Wish I had done a time lapse.

Single PST, 2.5pwrmte, dmk41

Super images. Yep been clouded out all week in northern England. Mostly just fog, cloud and constant drizzle here. Wish we had some of that CA sun!

Another two crackers well done. I really like the colouring of your processing as it shows off the detail really nice.

Keep 'em coming as it looks like you have it all to yourself at the min with all this bad weather around the UK!

I'm hearing that the UK will be getting its 1st icy winter blast beginning of next week so it's great that you can post these images from across the pond to show us what we are missing.

Absolutely incredible work, very impressed

We might be lucky today, or tomorrow or perhaps Sat. There is sun at the mo, through gaps in the clouds.

[DrRobin]

Hi All,

The sun came out here about 15:45, so solar scope was quickly assembled and a fine view was had through the double glazed window at work. Unfortunately, the sun is camera shy today and went behind cloud just as my DMK41 was getting to focus. Everything is still set up waiting for the next gap in the clouds.

Lovely images, very nice indeed

Had bluish sky here all day today bit shining through a layer of high cloud, so it wasn't worth the effort

[DrRobin]

Clear sky coming here in Newcastle, but will it be here before the sun goes below the building opposite? I have amybe 25 minutes left.

[DrRobin]

Oh, oh, oh, oh no! One decent gap came along just as the sun dipped below next door's roof. I considered moving in to another office but there was a big bank of cloud so it wasn't worth it and of course it is raining fast now.

Only good news [Alexandra] is that my DMK41 is now fixed after it's new firmware upload. With the full disc I was getting exposure times around 1/300th of a second, fairly consistent with my DMK21.

Think I will book a ticket to California, unless the sun makes an appearance tomorrow.

Ah too kind. But I think you're being hard on yourself. Your PST imges are by far some the best I've ever seen. Especially for a non mod. I'm just fortunate to have plenty of Sun to work with. Heck, if it wasn't for you, I'd probably still be in Registax over cooking my wavlets, lol.
