Nice images Pedro, especially what you were able to pull out of the WL

Nice Ha shot too. I was chasing those two little features today, but haven't started processing yet.

Hi Pedro, Just clouds and a little snow overnight. No imaging possible from here.

Good to see your images in three lights.

Thanks guys for your comments

Seeing was not that great (lots of low clouds passing in front of the sun)

I tried a new computer (SSD drive) and I had to struggle with the settings

Apart from that it was nice to capture the sun
