The Sun - 18th Jul 2015

[David Smith]

Early start today as the forecast looked promising. Not quite as early as I planned as I must have turned off the alarm and gone back to sleep

Paid off though as seeing was half decent.

Very nice. The seeing did deteriorate here later.

Very nice

Your DSLR images are much better than I get with the fancy webcam I may have another go with the 1kD

[Pete Presland]

Very nice set of white light images.

Fantastic detail clearly evident in that close up, spot on with the seeing I guess Dave.

Thanks all.

Seeing is everything! Hence the early start. Unfortunately it was cloudy and wet early here today so will have to hope the seeing good late like it sometimes is.

@ibbo - thanks. Should of pointed out the close-ups are taken with the QHY5 not DSLR.

Not many sun spots... Not much solar activity lately...
