Nice spot!  At last one worth getting the scope out of the shed for and dusting off the cobwebs.... Cloud now of course though. Look at the prediction for me tomorrow though. Clear skies all day! Do I believe it? Like a fool, yes...

Nice disks. Neat big AR has come along when I was off to Taipei for a conference. I have just returned home, and from Amsterdam till about 10-15 km south of Groningen the skies were clear, but here there is tenacious fog, so I cannot see the new stuff. Fingers crossed it will clear later.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Michael, hope it clears for you. yer mate its a nice size spot, it looks good thismorrning, the thermals are a bit better today, ive got some shots but if it keeps clear I'm going to hopefull get some better after 11.00am ,the thermals might of got better by then.  charl.
