Ha Full Disk 12th March

Ha FD DS50 60mmf6 2x cemax zwo183mm The weather has been awful of late, so when sunday offered something almost resembling clear (well hazy really!) skies I decided to just get the scope and go fishing for the less hazy breaks. Seeing was awful and are loosing resolution even at the full disk scale, but, it is nice just to be able to see the sun really!

Sunocular Fun Tuesday 21st February

Away in the wilderness of Iceland it was nice to get a view of a hazy sun with the Lunt 8x32 Sunoculars. 2023-02-21_04-33-20 These are a great piece of very portable solar equipment that provide meaningful views WhatsApp Image 2023-02-21 at 16.29.21 All the main sunspot groups were quite easy to see, with the image below approximated what could be seen visually very well. tdiqa230221t1614_dim-860 The end of the day was clear and cold and provided a lovely view of the conjunction of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter. 2023-02-21_07-38-22
