September 2nd - White Light - AR2585

[paulastro]

Out all day but amazingly, as forecast it started to brighten late afternoon and I had a slot between clouds and swift winds from 4.18 to 4.50 as soon as I got home, now heavy cloud again and rain on the way.  Poor seeing, but delighted to see it at all.

Great to see AR2585 had developed.  Single frames taken with Equinox 80, Lunt H Wedge and Olympus E-M10 on 100 asa.  The full disk on 1/4000 at 4.36 and the close up at 4.32 on 1/800 (plus x2 barlow)  I've also added my frame from yesterday for comparison.

Great images Paul. Only just managed to do a smash and grab myself.

Quick thirty second look through the 15 x 70's was all I could manage ...

No gaps here. Good to see that A/R is still going strong!

Well done! Nothing here all day. Hopefully something in the morning.

Many thanks for all your kind comments. I hope you all manage a view today, especially if you didn't manage to get one yesterday.  I think for most of us that tomorrow (Sunday) looks the most promising day of the weekend.
