Looking back to April

Post by ffellah »

Hello all: here the weather is horrible. We have a Noreaster with mostly rain and the weather is cold and raw. It feels like the rain is never going to end. With no chance to do any solar I looked back to April and I processed one image shot with my Canon 50x zoom back on April 2nd. Remember when we had some sunspots ? :)

I hope you all have better weather than here....

Franco

That really is a lovely disc, I hope we get some spots soon :hamster: :bow
I'm not liking this talk of bad weather in the USA, is this because I am coming to watch an eclipse that there is going to be bad weather all summer?

Hi Franco,

We struggle with the weather over here too. It has been raining so much recently. Hope the weather turn for better for all of us.

Thank you Alfred and Alexandra. Lisa and I are going to watch it from a small town called Festus, a half hour drive from St.Louis, MO. She has family there and we are combining a visit with the eclipse. Totality there should be about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
