Was blowing like a storm lol. Was having thoughts i should pack up. But persisted with the capture pause capture pause technique. Mostly because i could see a little UV Cloud on screen. And i am stubborn. But dont think i will make a habit of it.

To get a result in the UK. Sometimes you have to be. I took it as a good thing. So much time on my hands, just throwing myself into astronomy rather than going out like i would before covid. Great exercise too.

Another great capture Neil. There is definitely lighter and darker shaded areas on the disk particular towards the bottom half. You dont happen to be a Taurus the bull are you? Traits of Stubborness and all.🙂

You would think so Martyn. But No Virgo actually. Perfectionists apparently. Don't tell the science crowd. 

Cheers

Lovely details there, Neil.  Great capture - you must have been up early.

At this rate astrology will be re evaluated 🤣

An excellent image, especially considering the conditions it is an outstanding effort 👏  Definitely some UV detail visible there.

Much appreciated Pete. Will try some more soon as i now have a bessel Johnson U filter recommended to me.

See if conditions will give a little more

Well done for persisting Neil sometimes it pays off, its almost inpossible from my location due to its low elevation!
