Sunny(ish!) skies this morning, I knew the forecast of wall to wall sunshine was always going to be optimistic Still, got the lil' 40mm scope out on the Manfrotto camera tripod and with the home brew CaK filter and PGR Chameleon 3 grabbed a few images, first off the full disk at ~560mm focal length, then the close ups with the 2x barlow, not sure of the exact focal length, but pleased I got something as the view raced across the laptop screen on the non tracking tripod.

Apologies the fov isn't orientated correctly on the close views, it's always a challenge doing this on a camera tripod. Just pleased to have got some sun to be honest! Now, to take the olds out for spot of lunch...
