I had the day off!

[Montana]

Well I had to  it has been sunny Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the forecast for Sat/Sun is dark cloud!!!

I was so excited at the blue sky this morning, until I saw the view through the Quark!! yuk! I couldn't even focus. These two were the best, the rest went in the bin.

So out came the Solarscope DSF100, I am so glad I have this as it is worlds apart from the Quark. The seeing was still awful so could only take native focal length.

Very nice, looks sharper than my effort, tried to capture enough for a mosaic but gave up.

Looked at the weeds but didn't pull any up

What can I say Alexandra, a stunning set of images, wow!  I particularly like the mono close-up of the single spot and the two full disks taken with the Solarscope DSF100.  Your images have made my day, thank you so much for posting.

Lovely set of images. Did have a look at the sun today, but couldn't image due to a broken mount controller . The controller has now arrived (with complimentary clouds, of course)

 

Looking on the bright (sunny?) side: Interesting new AR coming round the corner
