Full disc in H⍺ - 24/8/2021

Post by Hughsie »

Coming off a run of overcast days, I had some hope for today but the wind and fast clouds just made it pointless and I just managed the full disc before packing up.

Hopefully better luck as the week progresses.

That's an excellent composite-image John.

As you say, the weather in our area was a dis-appointment from what the forecast was likely to be, but we must make the most of it, which you did. Still more of this high-pressure to come though..

Thanks for sharing
Terry

Alanis Morissette comes to mind - like buying a Lunt scope during a solar minimum or a double stack on a rainy day. Isn’t it ironic :?
