Rusted Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 My 6" H-a objective was heavily dewed over. Must cover it overnight. The mounting and instruments were spotted all over with frost. Not so clear of cloud today. Starting at 23F [-5C] Lots of high, thin cloud getting steadily worse. Prominences between one and two o'clock [inverted image.] Yesterday's spot group has rearranged itself. Visible in both white light and H-alpha at about 8 o'clock. 1/3 radius from edge of solar disk.

Rusted Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 What a shame, Dave. There is unlikely to be much to see on the surface as we descend into a minimum. The thin, high cloud is getting steadily worse here. Here's a snap I took earlier through a 32mm EP in my 180/12 using my TZ7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 A better image of the spot group: An afocal 'snap' taken at the 32mm EP in the 7" using a short zoom Canon IXUS 117 HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey-T Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Looks like AR will have gone round the edge before I get to see it, looking on satellite weather it looks very nice in France. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
