September 5th - White Light - AR2585

[paulastro]

Just about 100% cloud all day, with occasional indications of where the sun might be.  I had the scope outside covered up just in case.  At 2.50 I could see a hazy sun and I then had a brief window through thin cloud between 2.58 and 3.06 pm. A lot more than I thought I'd get today!

Single frames with Equinox 80, Lunt H Wedge and Olympus E-M10 at 250 asa.  Full disk at 3.00 pm at 1/4000 and the close up with x2 barlow at 3.03 pm on 1/1250.

Very nice capture Paul, bloody awful weather all day. Wednesday is looking the best for me so far with the JS moving out the way for a while & clear skies but as we know that will probably change :-)

Thanks for your kind comments on my rather iffy offering.

Not at all iffy. The close-up seems interesting enough to show worthwhile details.
