The streak lives!

By the skin of my teeth but managed to grab a few frames in some gaps late this afternoon.

EDIT: Thought something was not quite right. Checked back and found that I had not cleared the card in the camera after yesterdays session and had picked up those files when trying to process today's data! Doh Anyhow, I do have data from today but it may have been mis-represented by the earlier posted images. Apologies for the error. These are not quite so pretty

Well done - clouded out all day here.

It is amazing to think that this beautiful structure is our own star, and that other "beings" may be studying their own star and sharing images of it on their own version of SGL

Lovely images.

Nice one, David.

Are you in double figures? Good time to put a run together with all those nice new spots. I have a gap in my collection, I think I will post a sequence and include a silhouette

Nice images  

Really enjoying watching these active regions move across the solar disc, since owning my Ha scope I have never known so many sunspots as this.

I am lucky to have the next 2 days to myself & I plan on putting in some serious viewing time before work shifts get back in the way. I bought a sun hat today as i was noticing how so easy it is to forget you are in the suns rays whilst getting utterly lost in the eyepiece.  

Sorry to sound like i'm harping on a bit, but seriously everyone be careful with your skin,  cover up whilst enjoying the views !   No one should lose a loved one to the bearer of life
