The mark of a determined solar imager Charl, love it. Still some good detail in the new AR. Cloudy here this morning but might have a shot later when I get home if I am lucky.

An excellent grab in such dire conditions Charl.  You should be mentioned in in dispatches for fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.  I wish you clear skies on Monday Charl, you deserve to see the event.

Good luck for Monday Charl, if anyone will persevere it's you. Forecast seems to be getting better, my worry is being able to see the sun after about 5:00pm because of trees.

[Pete Presland]

At you got your "solar fix" despite the pesky clouds!
