Re: Valentine's Day Sun

Excellent disk Stu, just waiting for the clear skies to drift down the Irish sea. Had a few glimpses through the EP earlier, just need a big enough gap to get some imaging in. Ar12497 looks like it is crackling away and ready to pop with another flare.

Thanks all! Set up ready to go this morning, looks like there is a cloud break coming through. Need to be off for Valentines day lunch with Mrs T at 12, but hoping to get an hour in this afternoon too if i'm lucky.
