I could do with some of that seeing here, please, Steve. Nice images. Stu. Hi Stu , It made its way westwards and got over to Gary P's in Wales late afternoon so maybe it'll wander northwards overnight ... ;) :?: I can't remember the last time I spent so much time dithering about trying to decide h...

Glad you got some Sun James , and hope you feel better tomorrow ...

A very welcome but totally unexpected band of blue passed over just after midday , so out I rushed and grabbed a few ... :D Reasonable seeing and once I'd had a sort through I ended up with this one ... :cool: https://astrob.in/5zmaks/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure https://astrob.in/zlsnlx/0/rawthum...

Serious flare (M4) to start the day , hope some of you are not covered in a blanket of grey as is most of the UK right now ...

Alternatively you can take the route I went down with the Altair Hypercam 174M Mono Fan Cooled camera with the fan built in ...

Terrific!! are you allowed to get joy rides? :bow :hamster: Alexandra You certainly are ... :D And I think that I'm probably going to splash out and spend my Hydrogen-Alpha fund on a trip in it and then a taxi ride in the Lancaster NX611 "Just Jane" at East Kirkby in Lincolnshire ... ;) h...

I don't think so Alexandra , today's flight took them off to the north ...

Best I've had here today is an annoying local microlight ...

Thanks Mark ,

Sadly it would seem that the eleven day straight run would appear to be over for the foreseeable , judging by today's forecast ...

Quick and dirty Moon test as it was so resplendent hanging there against a dark blue sky.

That's a four and a quarter hour , 220 mile journey ..... RAF Lakenheath is a 20 minute , 16 mile journey ...

Looks can deceive , thick hazy , milky sky and lots of cirrus didn't bode well , but the seeing was remarkably decent despite it all ... :hamster: https://astrob.in/gfv6f5/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure https://astrob.in/y3t0f0/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure https://astrob.in/yiyxjy/0/rawthumb/hd/ge...

Had my breakfast interrupted today by a couple of F-15s , a KC-135 Stratotanker and a Herc from RAFs Lakenheath and Mildenhall doing numerous circuits over the house ... :) So down went the toast and out came the 150-600 ... :lol: Link here to the whole album on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/...

Nice photo, Steve. I had a similar experience. A Lancaster bomber flew right over my house yesterday, no doubt heading to an air show. We were sitting in the garden at the time. It raised hairs and brought a respectful tear. Stu. Hi Stu , There are more in the album linked to , I didn't want to clo...

The annual car show in the village that my grandparents lived in was graced by a flypast from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire this afternoon and I was there to catch part of it ... :cool: The roar of a 27 litre V-12 coming in hard and low over the trees never fails to raise the hairs ...

Thank you Franco ...

A decent fairly steady sky first thing for a change , lots of cirrus in every capture but the stacking dealt with that ... :) https://astrob.in/0czl91/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure https://astrob.in/cq65vj/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure https://astrob.in/rmij88/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure

Same old thing as far as seeing goes ... :mad: But I was very happy to have picked up the nice spattering of pores above the large spot and between it and the new fast growing AR that I saw on the NASA/SDO Continuum data this morning ... ;) https://astrob.in/7b05kh/0/rawthumb/hd/get.jpg?insecure htt...

A quick wander round the garden found these little ones sunning themselves and the hornet snacking ...
