The weather forecast for Sunday (April 28th) called for clear skies in the morning with increasing cloud and showers possible in the afternoon. The sun did arrive in the morning but the clouds came in early and the rain started and hasn't let up yet

I had a good start to imaging with FD in Ha, CaK, WL, and G-band but I was fighting the clouds when I tried to do higher resolution Ha. It would have been nice to have more item as there were 14 AR's identified, as well as several filaments a a few proms to add to the potential target list. The FD images are first, with the WL, G-band, and CaK all imaged through the Orion EON130 OTA with the ASI1600MM camera. The WL image used a Lunt Solar Wedge/Baader Continuum filter, the G-Band used the Altair 430nm/2nm filter, and the CaK was imaged through the Lunt B1800CaK module. Both the G-band and CaK had the scope stopped to 90mm: While the G-band filter was in use, I changed to the ASI462MM camera and a 3x barlow to image the AR's in higher resolution: I moved to the Lunt solar scope to start Ha imaging and it was around this time the clouds started to drift in. The first is the Ha FD, usign a 1.6x barlow ahead of the ASI1600MM camera: I added the 3x barlow to the Lunt scope to get a bit more image scale, but cloud ruined many of the captures and I was only bale to get a few frames to make a mosaic of the western disk and AR3654/3657 which was the star of the show: There was a nice prom arching across the western limb but cloud really messed with the ability to recover much of an image but this was what I did catch...lots of artifacts to ignore
