The Sun - 6th Sep 2015

[David Smith]

Clear skies this morning following a generally clear night it seems. Up at 8 and out imaging to make the best of any good seeing.

Pretty quiet on the white light front but just enough activity to allow me to focus the scope / camera without using EOS Utils. Looks like another small group has just come around.

Flickr still playing games so some of these are just direct uploads to SGL and some are via Flickr. Will try and get them up to Flickr at some point but I am losing patience with timed out uploads to Flickr

Ca-K on the other hand is still pretty busy.

I did take some H alpha videos but I am struggling to get anything useful out of them at the moment.

Great images Dave, lovely detail as allways. Thanks for sharing Charl

Very nice collection. Great sharpness, despite lack of activity. There does seem to be some action on the lower eastern limb worth keeping an eye on. The CaK looks lovely!

Very nice work, David, for me the CaK steals the show today.

I was up at 8 as well but so were the clouds I was the wrong side of the rather large edge 

I was giving up hope and they shifted towards noon. Probably not the best seeing by then but you gotta take what you can get

Quite nice out there now, puffy white clouds mostly avoiding the sun

Very nice images as always. The CaK certainly brings lot of interest to a quiet sun. Thanks for posting.

Nice images David.  Looks like you had good seeing early on.

The CAK view never seems to disappoint even when the sun is quite.

The CaK does indeed look good
