Iainp Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I rushed home today expecting to see the last of 2546 but it had gone. I wasn't disappointed though, as 2548 put on a great show in its place: Edited May 26, 2016 by Iainp 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iainp Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks David. I took dozens of close crop image sets too but they didn't turn out very well, presumably as seeing was not good. This full frame one (with 3X barlow) done casually at the end of the session, turned out the best of the bunch. Here's one of the close ups: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Lovely images Ian, seeing was bad here today scrapped most of my videos. AR2548 was putting out some nice flares during the day. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iainp Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks Dave. Yes, I recorded several bursts of activity even though it was just an hour or two's session in the late afternoon. I thought a great animated gif would be the result but like you, the vids were mostly unusable. I see you are not that far away, so let me know if you ever get good seeing! Early mornings seem to be the best here (St Neots, Cambridgeshire) and by the afternoon it's all fallen apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iainp Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks all. It looks like the photon shields (AKA clouds) are back for a few days now. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
