Quick session this morning May 7th
Hello all: I woke up early this morning and sneaked in a quick session before work (noty!). Seeing was good and the jetstream was favorable. I could not believe how lucky we are to have this pair of sizeable sunspots during solar minimum...I guess life is good today !
Clear skies to all !

Re: Quick session this morning May 7th
Thank you very much, Maurits, Mark and Raf, for your feedback. The conditions were promising for the HaT scope + 0.7 reducer and Solar Spectum filter: that is what I used. I still need to upgrade the mount, as tracking is still a problem sometimes.

Re: Quick session this morning May 7th
Thank you, Stu, greatly appreciated. I was lucky, the conditions were very favorable, and I do not get that very often. You can see the jetstream map (I am the red dot) and the seeing below.

Re: Quick session this morning May 7th
I reacted on this post in the SPOD section, not the right place of course.
Franco: congratulations, great images! And as I said: there are no better reasons to be late at work than these four.

Re: Quick session this morning May 7th
Nice set of images ! You can probably remove the 0.7 reducer next time.

Re: Quick session this morning May 7th
Thank you, Christian. I will try next time on a single sunspot. The other day I needed a wider FOV to catch both sunspots in one image, but you are right, seeing conditions were right to use the scope at full 27.5 focal ratio.

Franco,
Not only are those images superb, your timing caught some interesting activity. Nicely done.
