The Sun - 9th May 2015

[David Smith]

Cloud dodging this morning. Also worth keeping an eye on raintoday.co.uk if your planning on being out as there are some sharp showers about. I spent about an hour picking off 10 frames here and there in the very small gaps that were around. Fully over cast here with rain on the way from the looks of it.

Eventually managed to pick up ~230 frames which I whittled down to 144 once the really clouded ones were pulled out. From there R5 decided 44 were fit for the purpose and to be fair it has done a good job with them.

Well done, David, some sharp shooting there through the gaps in the clouds. Am takng a few pot shots too, shame the gaps are small, good transparency and half decent seeing here when it comes, but tough just to get focus!

[David Smith]

Thanks guys.

@ Luke - yes, seeing looked pretty good. Real shame as I would really like to be out trying another H alpha mosaic   Good luck with your shots!

[Luke]

I'd love to get some white light Stuck on the h-a, good luck to get a second dose!

Very nice result.

Nice shots.  

I should have set up earlier like you as even when there's gaps in the cloud the high cirrus is spoiling things now. 

I'm in Middleton Cheney , so only a couple of miles away form you.

Dave.

Lovely sharp disc as always. The rain/clouds was a pain today some nice gaps but the clouds were moving so fast they did not last very long!
