First Solar Session of 2021

Post by David_The_Bears_Fan »

After a long winter hiatus with the sun below the tree line, I had my first session of the year on Saturday. Had to learn how to do things again but generally went pretty well. Managed to get some time on all 3 wavelengths with some nice detail in the outgoing active regions. Had hoped to get a second session in on Sunday but the batteries died in my CG4 mount and the opportunity was lost.
