Calcium Sun 27th Jan '19
Cloud dodging in the brisk breeze on a low wintry Sun.
Lunt B600 CaK module + Omega filter on my 72mm (FD) and Technosky 125mm (close ups).
The low Sun and poor seeing made it quite a challenge to obtain crisp images, but I'll take anything at the moment, given how rare it has been to see the Sun at all these days.

Stu,
Great images like those are persuading me try imaging in CaK. Glad you had some clear sky today.

The last image is a cracker Stuart, it is a long time since I saw a lovely AR in CaK like that I am glad you got some sunshine. We had terrible gales yesterday I am surprised your scope stayed upright. 'Breezy' !! I think more like hold your hat on and run for cover

Many thanks everyone. Too few and far between, unfortunately, both spots and sunny days.
