Heya,
Another cloudy, foggy day. But I had a moment in the afternoon to attempt a peak and do some tests with the IMX253 sensor via a Flir camera. The big prominence on the north eastern limb persists, I bet it would make an awesome animation but I couldn't get enough data with the non stop clouds to attempt that. So I just grabbed a disc in calcium and took a look at the small plage and filament chain and the larger prominence on the limb and called it a session. Seeing was rubbish as it was late morning and cloudy. But it was better than another week of rain!
Seeing Conditions:
Terrible seeing, lots of clouds, late morning is always bad, but it's all I had compared to rain for days on end lately here.
Equipment:
100mm F10 masked refractor
Internal sub-aperture D-ERF (Baader Red CCD IR Block filter, 50mm)
PST Etalon + 10mm BF + ASI290MM
60mm F16.7 masked refractor
Lunt CaK B1200 + IMX253
Very best,

Fabulous set of images Marty showing lots of detail too.
Lucky with the weather at least for a while, so very well done...
And your little-lady enjoying the step-ladder seat too...
Cheers

Marty,
You did well considering the seeing. I see the string of filaments in the southeast is still there.
I like how you include your children in your pictures and activities. That’s great!
Blessings
James
