Lovely shots, Craig, sweet!

If there's a 50-50 chance that a forecast will go wrong, 9 times out of 10 it will.

Very nice result indeed

Very nice Craig.  The banding looks like it might be cloud across the panes, rather than coming from the equipment.

Here is a simple guide to weather forecasting:

Nowcast - Just go outside and look up.  Unless rain is hammering against the window in which case there isn't much point;

Today's forecast - Estimate of what it is doing now projected for the next few hours;

Tomorrow's forecast - Guess;

Long range forecast - Wild Guess.

That is a cracking mosaic the Lunt60 certainly is performing very nicely!

Sorry to hear that Alexandra. Not a great deal better here. Only 3 or so solar images in 6 weeks. FIngers crossed for better weather

Hope your luck changes soon, Alexandra. I have something new to play with and Sarah has a Quark to give a first light to, no doubt it will rain for four weeks! Michael, the weather should change for the better for you soon so long as you don't have any shiny new gear on its way

[sooot]

My shiny gear is in birmingham now guess what else is.....sigh
