Thursday Full Disks - 23rd March

Post by marktownley »

Another wet start to the day first thing this morning, but as the day progressed it gradually brightened up, so decided to go for a shot through the open front door to the house when I got back from work. Conditions weren't perfect with scudding clouds and quite a bit of haze, but you never know when the next time will be able to observe with the pants weather we have. Full disks taken with the 40mm scope, 400mm focal length and the PGR Chameleon 3 camera.

It was nice to see a spot on there after all those blank days lately. The weekend weather forecast may be promising, so might have to re-jig some commitments I already have. Hope you like these and hope the weather is behaving for you!

Nice ones Mark .Keep those priorities right.Hot and humid here so much so that the electrical equipment (shed computer and TV) have to be either left on or just not used.

Nice images, Mark. Today and tomorrow also look promising weatherwise.......we'll see.

Good to see the little sunspot evolving, nicely shown in your CaK images.

Thanks guys! Only things I have to re-jig potentially for the weekend is doing some jobs about the place, and if clear skies materialize it is a no brainer that the jobs go to the bottom of the list ;)

Thanks Alexaandra. Alas no HaT, the haze was thick that I was struggling with the 40mm scopes, so I thought bugger it and went for a day on the boat. Typically later on when I was not at home the haze disappeared.
