September 3rd - White Light - AR2585 - Mostly Cloud! ** HAlpha Added

[paulastro]

After snatching some HA just before, I only had one minute to snatch some frames in WL before cloud rolled in, then 100% cloud and heavy rain up to the present time.  Lucky to get any time really.  Single frames with Equinox 80, Lunt H Wedge, Olympus E-M10 on 200 asa, 1/250 sec, all at 7.53 am.  The close up is just a crop from one of the previous shots - I didn't have time to use the barlow and there was too much cloud anyway.

**Added an HA frame, taken with usual setup, 7.23 am, 1/20 sec, 500asa.  I had 7 minutes on HA but couldn't get a cloud-free frame!

Those cloud ones look good in their own way and quite moody!

Many thanks charl.  I'm very sorry your weather was so rotten, I looked out for a post from you and thought you must have poor conditions when I couldn't see one.  I hope you have better fortune tomorrow.

They're great considering Paul, lovely detail in the closeup as well. Rain here, all day.

Very nice set of images,  the cloudy ones are very atmospheric!

Very nice through the clouds shots Paul. No breaks here in the last couple of days.

Many thanks for all our kind comments.  I must admit, if the cloud hadn't been in the images, they wouldn't have looked a fraction as good!
