Thanks for the alert, Charl! I'd forgotten to check Gong today, and rushed to Gong after seeing your heading, then nipped outside sharpish!

Mostly patchy cloud here, but Sarah and I each caught a view. Sarah struggled to see it and switched to her left eye, and suddenly she got it! She was then able to see it with her right eye. Maybe I should try this trick sometime!

To me it looked like a raging fire with a load of smoke blowing in the wind. It looked an absolute whopper to me, though faint to my eyes. The main active part on the disc that you've captured so beautifully was nice and clear at the eyepiece.

Nice to see the sun putting on some fireworks recently! If it clears here I might have to give the white light a spin. Hoping for clear for everyone.
