A lot of fluffies about today but much better seeing than the last two days . . .

Quick run of 100 frames shot , 48 selected , 31 stacked at 95%

The new AR's a decent size for a change , looks good for the week ahead . . .

1000D + ST120 + ND3.8 + 1.8 x Barlow + UHC + S/L.

1/2000s @ ISO 100 , 31/48/100 , Reg 5.1 , Gimp2.8.

Great image, even with very little going on on the sun's surface. Nice AR on the edge, though.

Well done Steve - I have been sitting outside with it all set up for 3 hours waiting for just a hint of blue, but have given up now - funny how the blue sky is everywhere except where the sun is!!

I reckon Steve has nicked the Sun and hidden it in his shed. No-one else seems to have seen it for ages.

I've been waiting for the conspiracy types to start hinting about nicking SDO Intensitygram shots . . . . http://sdo.gsfc.nasa...t_1024_HMII.jpg

I suppose you won't want to hear that I'm all set up under clear skies for an all nighter here either .. .. .. ..

Great shot Steve. Nice active region on its way. You certainly seem to live in one of the sunniest parts of the UK, judging by how many great shots you get?
