The Sun - 2nd Jun 2014

[David Smith]

Unexpected hazy / clear sky this morning so grabbed what I could. Not my best but better than nowt. Had to manually sift through the 130ish frames I shot as R5.1 gave a horrible stacked image when fed the whole lot in one go. Eventually gave it 40 to play with and things improved dramatically.

Nice shot sir ... 

I'd been watching the clear swathe of blue over your way creep very slowly my way all day , it just gave me the tiniest glimpse ...

Nice result, David, it must have been worth it then to hand pick them

I took my scope in to work after Michael's heads up that the monster prom was still at large, thinking there might be a chance of a gap during my lunch break, but there was a gap when I arrived! So I set up on the edge of the car park, as one does! The postie was fab, saying he'd drop the letters through the box rather than hand them to me while I was in the middle of "important things" :laugh:

Great image, just finished watching the solar doc on discovery, like the way you've added the earth for scale...

[David Smith]

Well spotted Fozzie, think maybe I need to make it more obvious what it is

[Johan L]

Well done!

Super!! nice to see spots again, although I am a fan of the big proms which seem to come when there are no spots
