Hi all,
A few full disks (Ha and CaK), but first is AR2772 in Ha using my 250 mm RCT. The conditions were not ideal and the image is a bit 'soft', but you have to take what you can when the opportunity comes along, which it did this morning for a little while with half decent blue skies. Back to grey skies now and we're expecting winds and rain overnight and into tomorrow, so not a great weekend in prospect.
Anyhow, here's the image.

Thanks for looking.

Nice set of captures Stu. I was out fishing in the cracks between the clouds and looking for some reasonable seeing this morning too. As you say, take what you can after a week of cloud and gales forecast for tomorrow!

Wonderful close up Stuart!! I wish I had been ready with the C11 but it was a work day and I only had the ISS on my mind at lunchtime!
