Friday May 10th

Post by David_The_Bears_Fan »

Rough day today weather wise, clouds, showers and a bit breezy to boot. Still a few half decent size gaps in the cloud meant I had to try and get some imaging in. Not had a chance to image since AR12741 came around so I wanted to get a session in.Seeing was variable so results are not my best but I am reasonably happy.

Started out this morning with a gap big enough for me to grab lots of white light data.

Then another smaller gap came over this afternoon allowing me to shoot some Ca-K. Really did not expect to get much out of the data as the conditions looked very poor at the time but actually they have come out ok.
