Nice images Richard. Fair bit going on too. Off to set the scope up and have a look.

Good luck Luke - it is beginning to cloud over down here now

Nice to see Sol again! Good images - well done with such a low target and mucky sky!

Nice solar images Richard. I have just been viewing the Sun with my William Optics SD66 frac and binoviewers - it is very active and great views.

Managed about 45 minutes of good viewing before the clouds came over. Nice to be behind the scope and be warm for a change.

That is why I do so much solar work Luke . Well done on getting so long to view.

Thanks Roger by the time it had cleared the roof I only managed to fire off 100 images before it started to cloud up; rushed indoors and stuck them on the PC and luckily had focus. Within ten minutes of it clouding over the light rain started so had to rush out and get it all back in again!! Do0n't you just love this hobby?? Been lovely since the sun disappeared behind another roof

Hi Mark,

Yes looking quite active again isn't it. I was looking back at some SOHO images of 2003 though and it was really active then - catch a load of this

.

Hoping we might see something like this again this maximum!

[Steve Ward]

Nicely done Richard , looks like everyone caught some today . . .

[David Smith]

Well done, Richard.

Nice image and lucky to get a few good shots before it clouded over. It was perfectly clear this morning at about 8am here but clouded over before I got much of a chance with my Ha scope. Still managed one image.

[sologuitarist61]

Look forward to seeing what you managed Robin

[Montana]

Excellent and excellent!

I had a go today too, but was squidged between the house and fence and twigs, it really is the last week before February for the big scope.

I have noticed that at the bottom of my garden, the sun is only just clearing the roof of the house. Still I can always put it in the garage, which faces south and as there is nothing opposite us, it gets sun until about 2pm when it goes behind trees.

The alternative is to drive out and find a nice hill top car park?

The trouble is Robin that the sun is never out long enough to go somewhere else I find.
