Re: Solar viewing at last! Saturday 06/06/2015

Great images Alexandra particularly the Ha images.

I must be real strange as I did not look at the solar scope setup nor the flowers. I was more interested (after looking at your images that is) at you conservatory. I had one built last month and was looking at the type of aluminum framing.

Today's Four Faces of the Sun - 6th June

It was a glorious morning with not a cloud in the sky this morning so our club set up a couple of solar scopes for the public outside our science museum to complement their display on Sunlight. Well, just as we had set up the clouds rolled in which put and end to our part of the event but I was luck...

Re: May 31 2015 What 150mm is capable of. EXCELLENT seeing.

Excellent detail Valery. The lawn should be O.K. but not looking over buildings, roads, vehicles etc.... that cause thermals. At 50m high the air flow I would think would be quite laminar hence better seeing. Still great images.
