Lunchtime Flaring + Extras
Nothing gets the heart racing like seeing some action when taking a quick look through the Lunt 60.I quickly set up and over an hour got a few pics despite the swimming seeing and the palm tree which gets in the road at this time of year.I missed the action on the limb but I was just happy to see some flaring.Also some other pics.The milky way shots are with a Sigma 14mm f1.8 lens.Hope everyone gets some Sun this weekend and a view of the AR before it heads off.

Was that the M2 flare? http://www.spaceweather.com/
Magnificent catch Derek and I love the other images, particularly the Wren (well it looks like ours but I guess it won't be).
