At last the Sun is out 07-02 -16

Hey there is blue sky out there  This unusual event made me go and out the scope out.

It seems an absolute age since I got to see some solar and I am very pleased to say the least.

There are a few nice proms between the 1 and 3 O'clock positions (even an Eifel tower prom) and a solitary hedge around the 8 O'clock position....Great viewing.

On the surface there are some nice spots not to far left of centre, some lovely filaments on display all enhanced by a lovely peppering of granulation.

Sorry for the brief description but I do not want to miss anything and it has been some time.

Shaun, It can read as well as hear.

I guess I spoke to soon ..... Completely grey again by the time I got back downstairs and into the garden

I mustn't complain though, fifteen minutes of sun is a lot better than nothing at all and it was a very good fifteen minutes after all  The cloud is moving very fast, in fact it is is moving as fast as I have ever seen it move before, so maybe I might get another opportunity soon

Grey, cold, windy and icy showers here.

Another frustrating day here, nice and sunny earlier when the Sun was behind the trees, by the time it came into view cloud was increasing, took a couple of vid's and it's started raining

Glad to see you caught some rays

Unusually for me, I passed on the chance. Quite windy our way, and I was somewhat poorly! I did check gong first just in case there was a super mega spot/prom, disc looked nice!

Managed a quick look yesterday too. Very impressive activity visible. It was a highlight of a day which ended in the extraction of a wisdom tooth (bleh). Never new solar observing could work temporarily as a pain killer

Glad you got to see something

I am hoping n the next couple of weeks the Sun will be high enough that I can do some observing even only for 15mins

Cheers
