Eventually got a few images out of yesterdays session.

80mm SW Eddy Cak lunt filter

FS102 and the Quark

all with the ZWO 178 cam.

Well done Steve!

The soft seeing was a nightmare! Hours of frustration over two days so far!
I couldn't focus properly myself despite having an ultra-slow, DIY electric focuser.
I put it down to thin, high cloud causing a haze over the sun.
The weather has broken now and the sun gone into hiding.
Probably ashamed of itself.

The seeing was a bit hazy yesterday as well now that the aviators seem to be back in business.  A bit light on proms after the recent examples but surface detail was centre stage.     🙂

A fine set of images, great to see the scale on the Sun as well.
