27.03.2020 Nice but small prom at 10 o'clock.

[Rusted]

Hi,

Really difficult to tease this small one out of the noise and glare.

Fitted a 2x WO Barlow for more scale in 640x480.

A touch of ImPPG and PhotoFiltre7 did the rest

Very well teased. Meanwhile we remain under cloud for the sixth day! Blue skies to our North and Northwest, not getting any closer (yet!)

[Rusted]

Thanks Geoff.

I've ben playing with the image in the hope of more. But not yet.
The seeing went off after that. Shame, because it was a fast changing prom.

We've had several days of sunshine but with a chilly wind until today.
Presently 51F at13:00. Expecting plunging temperatures after Sunday!

[Altocumulus]

Yes, looking forward to the colder snap - at least it'll clear this cloud and we'll get rid of that tantalising strip of blue which has been there these last three days!. Then it'll be shower dodging. I'll have to have a look at PF - I tried to ditch PS a while ago in favour of Luminar but their latest version is difficult(L4).

Later prom developments:

14:15 no Barlow. 14:28 2x WO Barlow.

Thanks for the 'heads up' and the solar image. I decided to set up the PST + DS to check out any proms. We have some nice proms (not too large) to the North, South and a fainter one on the Eastern Side.

Thanks Mark,

The only one worth a proper look IMO is at about 10 o'clock. [NE]
It has change constantly as I captured videos at frequent intervals all day.
The fleeting detail on the monitor has been exquisite.
If only I could capture all those special moments and render them as images.
Or even animations.

That is really a nice set of images. I agree with you that the Prom on the Northern side is the most interesting.

Thanks Mark. The seeing went off and then came back again in the late afternoon.
Quite pleased with the last few. The rare moments became the norm until the partial tree eclipse.
ImPPG saved a lot of very iffy stills out of AS!2. I've never had much luck with ImPPG until recently.
Perhaps it is becoming tamer with familiarity? I like the way it remembers the processing settings.
