Andrew,
You did really well on such a calm sun. I myself got clouded out today.

Wow! you saw so much yesterday :hamster: made me smile to see the Jodrell Bank dish pointing up :)

There was virtually nothing on the disc today, I have never seen it so quiet.

Hi Montana,

I was struggling with the Mak180 PST Mod 2 earlier today. It does not like haze and has a few PST reflections.
RodAstro made me a tipper for the Omega Bobs 1.5A I am using as a comb blocker and a few reflections, worse then when it was in a plastic Moon filter miss-threaded into a BlueLightning 48-28.5 adapter!

I saw a nice prom 03.00 my time earlier on quiet bright and ziz zaggy. And a bit of activity 09.00.

I have my Quark Combo nosepiece and my Chromo back so more options to try. RodAstro trying them with ES 2x 2" Teleextender on the Zeiss at F30.

Cheers. Andrew.
