August 4th - H Alpha

The rain eased and I had a session between 9.52 am and 10.03 am, though cloud still interfered.  During the last few minutes of this period, I had to extend my black hood over the scope to keep off the increasing rain.  I stopped when it became too much and I had to rush in with the scope.

Single frames with the Lunt 60 DS and Olympus E-M10 at 500 asa.  The first frame taken at 10.00 am on 1/60, and the second/third frame also at 10.00 am on 1/30 sec.

It's forecast to be better late in the afternoon, and if it is I may try and take some better ones without the cloud.

Better than my Ha effort today Paul, a 'flat' error has spoilt my mosaic.  Well caught in between the showers.
