The Sun - 24th Jun 2015

[David Smith]

Clearing skies when I got up this morning so before I left for the office I was able to grab 135 frames in what appeared to be pretty good seeing. It's always a bit tricky to tell when just viewing on the little 1100D lcd screen but images below have come out ok.

Great shot that ... 

Missed the early 'stillness' here but had a go through the midday shimmer ...

Oh Dave that group looks pretty alone now, hope summit is coming round that limb for the weekend.

Clean,crisp granulation as always.

Very nice.  The seeing definitely looks like it worked in your favour.

Come on James, break out the solar imaging gear. You know you want to

Even Steve's back in the game for this big group.

Nice sharp set of images.

I really desperately do

Work has been an absolute beast for the last few months though (well, most of this year actually -- other than public holidays I've not had a day off since Christmas) and it has seriously affected my astronomy.  Once the kids are off school for the summer though I'm going to seriously crack on with getting the obsy built so I can leave everything set up all the time, and I'll be making sure it's all networked up so I can work out there and pretend to be in my office too

Very nice again David. I must have a go at white light - no excuses I have a filter etc

Excellent images, oh for a long sunny day

I'd second that Dave. Clouds soon came back here just after 9 this morning. Cleared again a bit this evening but too late to do anything with.

Nice images Dave. By the time I started imaging things were not so steady but they were better than some occassions.

A sunny, still day would be great
