Determination and patience , that's all you need on a day like this ... 

The forecast lunchtime clear patch never arrived but it thinned a little as I got home , exposures right down at 1/40s to cut through the grey , found 12 to play with from the 300 shot ...

as i drove to work this morning it was extremely foggy and overcast, but then i got a very short thinning of the fog/clouds. the first thing i thought was that was a big enough gap for Steve to get an image, close ups though

very nice image as well Steve, those new regions look really interesting for the weekend. that assuming the weather allows us to.

[Steve Ward]

Thanks Pete ... 

Apologies for the lack of close-ups , miracles are easy but even I had to concede defeat on that front today ... 

[David Smith]

Nice pic. Nothing doing here again today.

[Steve Ward]

The really annoying thing is that the twelve I used were from the very first set of 25 shot , the other 275 were rubbish ... 

[Luke]

Very nice, Steve, I saw a black cloud earlier and I thought. that would be 5/10 seeing for Steve

Truly amazing how many shots you get 

I'm hoping for a Solar Sunday, not much joy this week so far!

[DrRobin]

What a cracker Steve. I have my [now] annual solar viewing session at our village show tomorrow and it is really nice to see such great activity in white light. Hopefully it will be as good as this for me tomorrow.
