Hi:
Before lunch, had a chance to image the sun. Seeing regular with high haze.
Used the Solarmax 90 and the SKYnix 2-2.
Thanks for looking,
Eric.

Alexandra and guys, thanks for looking.
Derek, my city is placed on a valley 2240 meter above sea level, and in that Valley of México more or less live around 21 million people, so we usually have a stagnant reddish/yellow high smog cover, that just the high winds and rain can sweep, so my seeing conditions are bad to regular.
Some amateur astronomers claim that the smog acts as a filter, actually at night the seeing gets more steady and helps imaging the moon and planets, but then the problem is light pollution. :(
Best regards to all,
Eric.

That's nearly the population of all of Australia Eric no wonder there's smog.

Really Derek! we have 66 million on an area which is only 3% the size of Australia. I suppose that city is big, that is 1/3 of the UK population!
