AR2342 flaring a bit - 13th May

[Luke]

Hi all,

I think I took this image of AR2342 flaring a bit at about 6.50AM. It was quite blurry, maybe Sol was down in the murk? I've sharpened quite heavily to try and bring out a bit of detail. Thanks for looking, and good luck for some weekend Sun if your solar setup is on standby. I am a bit worried because for once the weekend forecast is actually showing some partially sunny patches on Saturday in the afternoon, this can only mean doom and gloom!!    Luke

Nice shot Luke. Good luck on the weekend.

Excellently done, it would be nice to have some clear spells!

Good stuff Luke, was sunny first thing but by the time I'd done my chores it had clouded over, going to Ian King imaging course on Saturday so won't be doing any solar, hope you get some Sun.

Very nice Luke, I think your right about the conditions after having a quick look at mine.

Very nice catch

Thanks, David, Pete, Dave, Ewan and Michael.

Dave, have fun on your imaging course.

Pete, I really hope we get a nice sunny weekend at some point! I really should check my Quark is on the best tuning, the only way I know to do that is take shots at different tunings and compare them, but I daren't mess about with the typical skies of late where I don't know how long I have got! Wouldn't mind some quality time on white light either! Good luck over the weekend.

David, may your skies be sunny, especially if it drifts this way

Ewan, were you up imaging before 7am? I thought it was just me that was nuts?
