Bank Holiday solar fun - Ha & CaK - 29/8/16

[DrRobin]

Hi,

Well what a day, pretty much wall to wall sunshine and warm with it too.  An opportunity like this was too good to miss so I broke out my Lunt 60, Quark and CaK module for some full discs and close ups.

Before anyone asks, our dog was treated to a 30 min walk before solar imaging started this morning and 2 hours on the moors this afternoon, you could say everyone was happy.  The principle reason it has taken me so long to process the images is I didn't get back until 5pm.

Oooh, those close ups are stunning. Glad the dog got a trip out as well, don't want her telling tales on you
