Sol from windy Somerset

[geoff_k]

Curious weather at the moment from one day to the next but last Tuesday was sunny if somewhat. windy.

The gusts of wind carmped my style a bit but one image was slightly better than the rest.

I think this was AR1726 before it started to move away from the Earth-facing side.

Hoping for a few more sunny days this summer as the Sun is starting to get more interesting.

Nice shot, Geoff. Very breezy down my end of Somerset today. Had the image bouncing about a bit in the images, but not the worst I've seen it.

Hi Geoff,

Good capture. What equipment did you use? I think the focus is slightly off, still a very good capture.

I think you're right about the focus as the others were worse.

Because of the condtions and general incompetence on my part, I just couldn't nail the focus. Also I find the best time to image is usually about 5pm or so. This was much earlier in the day.

Used a PST and black and white modded Philips SP900Nc plus a Barlow as I find it's hard to get focus without it.

I'm sure I'll get more and better opportunities in the months to come (ever the optimist!)

Nice shot Geoff, it has a certain 3d feel about it. It's not easy when the wind is blowing strong and everything is moving to get really good focus. I am sure there will be plenty of good days to come, once we shake off winter that is.

Well done Geoff!
