A few from today 20th Aug '20

Post by Carbon60 »

Hi all,

A few full disks (Ha and CaK), but first is AR2772 in Ha using my 250 mm RCT. The conditions were not ideal and the image is a bit 'soft', but you have to take what you can when the opportunity comes along, which it did this morning for a little while with half decent blue skies. Back to grey skies now and we're expecting winds and rain overnight and into tomorrow, so not a great weekend in prospect.

Anyhow, here's the image.

And the FDs in Ha on my Lunt 60 (2.5x PowerMate, 6 pane mosaic)

...and FDs in CaK using a Lunt B1800 module (four pane mosaic)

Thanks for looking.

Nice set of captures Stu. I was out fishing in the cracks between the clouds and looking for some reasonable seeing this morning too. As you say, take what you can after a week of cloud and gales forecast for tomorrow!

Wonderful close up Stuart!! I wish I had been ready with the C11 but it was a work day and I only had the ISS on my mind at lunchtime!

Many thanks, everyone. Much appreciated. The weather really has taken a turn for the worst, here; strong winds and rain Stopping the fun.
