The Sun - February 11th

Post by David_The_Bears_Fan »

A couple of weeks since the last look for me. Sun is getting higher now so when the weather plays ball :lol: I have a few opportunities during the course of the day. Had time for both white light and Ca-K today although seeing was rough and the wind was even rougher so just glad to get something.
