Saturdays Ha - 27th April

[markt]

Saturday was a day of april showers for me - one moment glorious blue skies and strong sunshine, the next black skies with hail and thunder. I had my tarpaulin ready for the scope as had setup and didn't want to spend the day packing / unpacking.

First off the full disk, taken with the 70mm PST mod @ ~500mm fl. This is a 6 pane mosaic taken with the DMK31.

It really was take a snap and cover the scope from the rain, so not as many other images as I like, but hey ho, better than none! These were taken again with the 70mm at ~800mm fl, with the DMK31. First off AR11731...

Those close-ups are gorgeous. I particularly like number 4, with the proms in the background.
