Nice captures. The potential new AR showed up as an area of faculae in WL yesterday, I would love to see if some sunspots develop. No luck seeing it here today: wall-to-wall clouds, again

[Chris]

Good to see what I'm missing, overcast and very muggy here on the East coast. Bit of a Forrest of proms there, and it will be interesting to see if the possible AR develops further. 

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Michael, yes I did notice in your WL yesterday, I made a note to have a look in the area firstthing, in the vis there looks to be 3 small pores/spots but my cam declined to pick them up. hope you get to have a look if your skys improve. charl.

It's all good, had a good session yesterday and another vid posted. Have you got one of those compressed air cans to blow out the dust from your laptops cooling vents? I swear by them.

Lovely proms Charl, thanks for the view, stuck under the same clouds as Chris here.

Cleared yesterday too late then clouded over again just as it got dark enough for imaging.

thanks Chris, I cleaned it all out about a month ago and repasted the processor, its a 8 core thay run quite warm all the time, it was 72c which is quite hot but 90c is where it will auto shut down to save damage. charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Dave, have you heard anything back from Ewan yet ?. ive cloud forcast for tomorrow, im glad im sick of the heat mate it was hard to sleep lastnight and I was drained thismorrning. hope it clears with you. charl.

[laudropb]

Another lovely set Charl. Last evening I notice an area of plague just at the limb. Hope this continues to develop.

Ewan did a few images with his setup and agreed that while prom' images are fine surface is a let down.

Now started another dialogue with Daystar I'll let you know how it goes.

Countryfile weather forecast yesterday said we might get a cooler spell mid week.

looks like thay have sent you a prom model by "mistake", yes let us know how you get on. charl.

[Mark at Beaufort]

Thanks Charl for the photos. I am outside at the moment with the PST + DS. There are two jets coming off the surface high on the South-West quadrant. The one is interesting because its not seen coming off the edge just straight off the surface - if you know what I mean. Signs of activity on the Eastern edge perhaps, as stated, a new AR.

There are some nice Proms as well.

[Pete Presland]

A fantastic set of images.

[Moonshane]

I sketched this AR too today and wondered if it might develop.

Great images mate. You can see an almost week by week improvement in your images - seriously well done.

Remember this one?

 

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Shane, that was the shot which started the obsession mate ?, I carnt believe I when through nearly 40 years of astronomy without putting a camera to a telescope but I think im making up for it now, your so kind mate, its the quark which is perfict tool, it makes HA very easy I still fav WL when we have a nice AR to image. shooting through cloud thismorrning so back to the usal. thanks charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Pete, hope you have clear mate, cloudy here today. charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Mark, I carnt see any spots thismorrning but I battling cloud I carnt get a long enough look, ive got some vid it might show something when processed mate. hope you have clear. charl.
