Nice image I've been afflicted by rain for most of the day

Nice work Steve.

Sounds most unpleasant James :-)

[Bizibilder]

Nice one - there must be something about to come into view surely!

[Steve Ward]

Just a couple of crops here to show quite a change in the AR during the day ....

Early. Late.

That's the problem with these solar maximums, they are like rain, you never know how much you will get. Still a nice capture and at least there is one big sunspot group.

Nicwork Steve. I had hoped to do the same yesterday, second run after work, but it had clouded over by around 16:00. Interesting to see the development of that group.

[Steve Ward]

Judging by the pictures on Sat24 it'll be down to you today .... ... big old bank of grey wafting over me from the North Sea .

There's a slight chance of some gaps but it's not looking good at the moment.

Hopefully it'll be clear tomorrow as I'll be set up at A10 Optical in Southery , having been invited to give a demonstration of solar imaging and processing at an open day event .

[David Smith]

Been grey here since I got up at 7 despite the forecast of clear skies all morning Forecast keeps changing, moving the clear skies to later in the day. Could be one of those "tomorrow never comes" scenarios.

Good luck with the outreach thing tomorrow, hope the weather behaves better!

[JamesF]

We have sunshine here, but winds gusting to 30mph which is something of a nightmare where imaging is concerned

James

[David Smith]

Yeah, it's a little blowy here as well so will be interesting if it does clear. Have seen a blue bit in the sky but it did not last very long.

[DrRobin]

Almost completely clear here today and light winds. Just got my chores done this morning and will have a go at Ha later this afternoon. Forecast is for clear skies tonight so I will be out to look at Saturn.

Sorry to hear you have cloud, run and wind.
