Lots of action today.  Here's a couple of snaps (not worthy of going into the imagaing section), to give a taster of it.

The sun was over a block of flats, so lots of thermals in the morning warm up.

Lovely Ha shot. Is that just the base PST Coronado? Might be my next scope purchase if so!

Yes, just the base.  It does have its sweet spot, in this case the upper right quadrant, so visually it has to be moved around to see what's there. and actually it's better on prominences than surface detail.  But a bit of a processing brings out some reasonable detail.  Also it's not designed for imaging, so I used a TV delite eyepiece, the TV phone adapter and an iPhone.
