Very quiet indeed. Might get a chance to have a look tomorrow, potentially with Ca-K and H-alpha as well. Maybe those bands will show a less bland disk.

I agree! I often check your images, Charl, to see if there's anything going on to motivate me to drag the scope out (on the few days the sun actually breaks through the cloud, I should say. It's solid grey these days.)

Nice looking disc's,  very quite still. I think we might have to get use to it for a while 

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Iain, your so kind mate, I'm happy to help. clear skys, charl.

[xtreemchaos]

I'm afraid I've given up bothering with solar for the moment, until you can find some decent spots for me!
