Nice images there David! Clear here too but circumstances meant I couldn't get out to observe. I did take the opportunity to see how the sun was getting higher in the sky, not too long now before it clears the trees on my southern horizon.

Re: The Sun - 2nd Feb 2019
Fantastic shots David I managed a view today too and that little new active region in the east was a treat, I thought I was going to get a blank disc.
However, it did take 5 minutes to load all these pics, is it possible to link all your images from Flickr?

Re: The Sun - 2nd Feb 2019
Lovely round disk, David . I wish I’d have gone straight to CaK. I chose Ha instead and really struggled with my Lunt60. Maybe it was the cold, but before I could get on band (tried for ages) the clouds rolled in and I ran out of time.
Nice proms too.
