The Sun 22 December 2013 white light

[Bizibilder]

Today's Sun through a little break in the clouds.  The seeing was better than it has been of late but the Sun is so low that it was still difficult to get a decent image, hence trying 300 JPEGS and stacking the best 85. (I can fire off JPEG's almost continuously - RAW images take a few seconds to download and I simply didn't have a gap in the clouds long enough!).  Evostar 120mm Achromat - Baader film and stopped to 100mm, Canon 1100D - 1/1250 sec at ISO 100, EQ5.

Nice ones. I missed the one break in the cloud, alas.

Well caught sir ... things can only get easier from now on ...

Well done, Roger, good catch    We had it a bit easier our way with a longer spell of clear, though the pesky rain thought it would be funny to rush in and aim at my gear!

Phew, relieved to see the Sun gets no lower than this...

Nice and sharp Roger, not easy when it stays down in the murk. Do you have the option to shoot in RAW and JPG and leave them on the Camera? I know APT can do this.
