I was even treated to some flaring whilst testing out the new 127mm scope!

ar11512 Detail Galore!
I love how much more detail is visible with the larger aperture scope when the seeing allows!

Inbetween the clouds today was first light for my 127mm pst mod. This first shot was slighty soft on the focus but not bad for a first image!

AR11511 Through The Haze...
Following another storm system that has rattled through the UK, saturday morning dawned blustery with rapidly moving clouds at lower levels and a much slower moving band of higher haze / cirrusy stuff. Normally wouldn't even bother in such conditions, but have had such little opportunity to observe lately due to poor weather that decided just to setup and see what I got. The sun is ridiculously quiet at the minute, with the only area of activity on the disk an insignificant small active region AR11511. The haze made it difficult to focus and looking the pic my tuning could have been a little better to get more even across the frame. Still better than nothing!

AR11504 - 18th June
First opportunity i've had in over a week to image the sun, and today this was in less than ideal conditions. AR11504 has been crackling with flares over the past couple of days, but now as gets closer to the limb is slowly decaying, possibly showing the first signs of lightbridge formation. Sadly at this stage the sun is pretty blank other than this active region. This was taken with the 100mm SS @ f16, DMK31.
