Sun in poor seeing, 14th May

[Luke]

Hi all,

I was very lucky to catch some Sun this morning, I nearly didn't try as I could already see clouds in the distance nearly half an hour before the Sun would clear the tree. But the clouds took their time. Seeing was poor and I struggled to process and I think my 120mm scope was a bit overkill for conditions, but there's not really any point I guess taking images in poor seeing unless I am going to process them! Thanks for looking, Luke

Good shot in tough conditions. Lets hope we get some more opportunities over the next few days.

Still a nice shot Luke, though as you say, not as sharp as your best.

[Pete Presland]

pretty good despite the conditions, the seeing was awful on Tuesday as well!

[Montana]

Still a super shot though :)

Thanks, David, Freddie, Pete and Alexandra, I think I tend to not process the poorer seeing ones but maybe it will help with my processing as well, I had to work a bit harder on contrast and sharpness it felt like.

David, glad to see you got a shot in this morning. I was lucky as I had pretty much a clear solar brekkie, seeing seemed not too bad, hope it holds out for anyone imaging later today. Yesterday's seeing was far worse our way!

Very nice. That odd zigzag pattern in AR2339 is still going strong

Thanks, Michael, I loved that zig zag
