Lovely views in Ha today

[Highburymark]

Haven’t had my solar scope for a while. Issue with filter tuning had to be sorted out by the factory. But what a joy it is to have it back. Spectacular proms over the past few days, and today, a couple of lovely filaments - the first, snaking over the active region near the middle of the disc, and the second, a very nice ‘filaprom’ system on the limb - with perfect seeing this morning was able to go up to 140x in the binoviewer to bring out detail - complete darkness essential with a blanket over head at this magnification as views are inevitably dim with 70mm filters. Well worth the effort to get outside for a few minutes if you get the chance.

Thanks - it’s a great time to get into solar observing and imaging
