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.
Sol from the 20th of February 2017.

Nice FDs, Eric.
A bit of froth close to the NE limb.....let's see how it develops.

Re: Sol from the 20th of February 2017.
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!
