Equinox to Equinox 2023 -2024

Post by rigel123 »

Thought I'd try something different with my 2nd Solar Can and recorded from Sept 23, 2023 to March 19, 2024 to see if I could get all of the arcs on the paper since the sun would be lower. "Missed it by that much!" according to Maxwell Smart. :cool: Also, I guess the weather station that the can was attached to on the pole blocked my western window so next time I guess I'll set up a pole just for the solar can. Happy with how consistent this one turned out from the last one.

That’s a beauty! You can tell it wasn’t recorded in the UK with all those wonderful thick bands of exposure throughout the year! I love it,
Nic

Thanks all! I’m really curious about that upper arc that is divided into oval sections!

I presume the oval sections are Mother Nature’s artwork, a natural, coincidental, regularly spaced pattern of cloud/sun/cloud/sun? Mine often look like morse code with the UK weather system. Interpreting is the best fun of solargraphs,

Thanks Soendergaard and Franco! I was surprised how clean the image was Franco, there were a few bright spots I cloned out but not many at all.
