The Sun - 29th May 2020

[David Smith]

Last day in my job of 21 years and 11 months today due to redundancy so needed a bit of solar therapy! I was late getting out though so had to deal with poor seeing. Not much to see in white light, bit of faculae that;s about it. Ca-K has a bit more to offer with some nice plage areas and a decent bright prominence on the on-coming limb.

 

 

 

 

Rest of the day was a bit carp really so am going to sit down with a big glass of wine and read about Quark solar astronomy.

Uncertain times to come unfortunately. I am being furloughed today for most of June and July.

Indeed, both daughters got laid off within days of lockdown coming into force and both brothers are currently furloughed until August.

Being furloughed on 80% pay is an odd feeling, feels like an astro-holiday has been offered to me. Planning to do a few all nighter's and look out for Noctilucent cloud. 

All the time thinking though, what will i being going back to later in summer.
