So glad for you Alexandra! Really nice full disks with beautiful details. That center spot is really dominating the scene though.

Re: Oh my! a patch of blue sky!
Lovely images Alexandra, glad the blue sky gaps hit your end of Cheshire, they brushed past us
up here. The proms are developing nicely, hope they put on a show.
Can I ask if the Ha PST is double stacked ?
Best wishes,
David

Hi, Alexandra
What a relief that must have been. It has been said before that this activity is an addiction (though a positive one) for many of us.
Hope you have many more opportunities couple with better seeing.
