The Sun - 9th Aug 2014

[David Smith]

Woke up to lovely clear blue skies again. Had to be out just after 9 so had to get a move on. Fortunately I was back just after 10:30 and the sky was still clear so had a chance to do some white light close-ups.

White light stuff first. Full disk taken with the usual line up, close-ups taken with the Evostar and the QHY5-II mono

Very nice set of shots.

Really like the white light ones. I have tried so many times to get decent white light and always fail miserably - your's however are really good.

Nice fine detail

Nice set sir ... 

Can close my eyes and picture you doing the supermarket at 1.5x normal to the Benny Hill theme ... nothing gets us into focused-determined mode like a big blue sky waiting at home ...

Great session David, number three is a cracker.  Clouded out here until mid afternoon.

Fantastic shots! I saw that little flaring in  AR12135 that you captured too :)
