Great Images and reflects what I have seen today.

Is it just me or has the Sun got a Snowman Face on it?

[Yawning Angel]

Lovely images Neil!

How many frames did you grab to end up with a 300gb file?!

Cheers Russ Starting in late morning helped. The shadow of my bungalow wall i use as a shield. It reduces glare. I can see a bit more clearly, For focus.

Hi Alex. I captured just over 99.000 Not sure i would recommend it. Ive yet to see the run. Not sure i can process it ? i may have to split it. Tons of blur but a few moments of clarity through out.

Wow!!!!. Lovely group. I may have to take the Quark Chromosphere out tomorrow (clouds permitting).

Still trying to learn if there is any benefit doing it. But of course the idea is to cherry pick. The sun is more disturbed than lunar. So i suppose a attempt to make up for that hinderance. As i said so far its causing problems. and that is with a 8 core AMD chip. Trying something new soon. we shall see. 

Look forward to seeing your extra runs Alex

Beautiful details visible there Neil, hopefully some decent views when the region is facing directly at Earth
