Rich, I am totally impressed by your K-Line image. Very nice!! James Thanks James. The closure to f/15 I get the better the image is. Rich Rich, I have been using that wedge-filter combo at F6 with a 72mm refractor. I really need to make a 40mm mask for it. It does ok but not as well as your does. ...

April 17 2024. WLC through milky clouds.
Today was a troublesome day to observe. The sky was a milky white with high clouds giving a diffused and dimmed solar disc. I had to keep the power low using mostly 25x and only once going briefly to 31x. The session was from 15:20 until 15:42 UTC. The seeing looked to be about average. The temperat...

Mostly cloudy today. 4-16-24. Slooh Ha.
Today was mostly cloudy until about the last 2 hours before sunset when the skies cleared to wispy cirrus type clouds so I accessed the Slooh Lunt60 Ha live feed and captured three images from it this morning. The time is in the image name. Later in the day I snapped a picture of the clearing sky fr...

It was serene. I was almost entirely alone on the lake with only the sounds of the birds, the water and the occasional fish breaking the surface. Kayaking is a wonderful way to spend the day!

It was a wonderful day Mark. If today allows I may get back on the lake later this evening. That is not a bad idea for the keys. Or I could clip them to my belt loop or life jacket which I wear. I don’t plan to capsize but just like a car accident it can happen.

Lol. I thought about that but somehow the “ Grey Minnow “ rings true to me. The kayak is a small boat and it is greyish in color. I may get a larger pontoon boat. It would almost no doubt be called the “ Carpe Diem!! “.

SUNocular view from on Lake Russell S.C. 4-15-24
Today while fishing from my kayak I caught the Sun using my little Lunt 8x32 Lunt SUNoculars. I had to catch a calm cove to do this so the boat would stay still enough for a good view. I had tried previously but the boat rocked too much. A friend of mine told me that he had not been quite dedicated ...
