Alexandra

That's a phenomenal drive but well worth the effort!! it is like me driving to Italy and back for the day

Superb images! and great to see you on the Zoom too.

Alexandra

WOW!!! an absolutely stunning shot of the corona

and a very warm and sunny welcome to the forum too! what an opener!

Alexandra

Absolutely gorgeous and a beautiful presentation too

You were lucky with the weather, so many mixed sky experiences from around the Dallas area.

Alexandra

Sounds like a lot of people had a struggle, but you got some superb images. I love the Bailey's beads and you got some lovely detail of the inner corona

Alexandra

Wow!! what amazing corona you have captured

it was worth the move to get the clear skies

A beautiful composition
Alexandra

What lovely pictures Brian, I was with you all in spirit and watching the live feed from NASA at Mazatlán :hamster: These are superb images but I am more impressed now I see the cloud you battled through :shock: I too was wondering why they watered the lawn at 11am? imagine if you had arrived just t...

How about

Carpe Diem I

Give it a number and then each bigger boat gets the next number, a bit like the QE II

Alexandra

Please do keep posting the images, I'm loving every single one

Alexandra

Oh Franco! my heart goes out to you, it must have been shattering. I hate airlines, they treat you like an insignificant object and not a human being who has other bookings. They just don't care. I had exactly the same for the 2017 eclipse and I hate Air Canada with a passion now. I cried all the wa...

Wow!! this is a beauty

Everyone said to avoid Canada but this was clearly unjustified

Alexandra

Absolutely lovely shots

sounds like you had a great day. I think everyone seemed to be stressed about the clouds.

Alexandra

I haven't heard about mine for 18 months, even my vendor never replied to me either. I wonder if mine is lost forever

Alexandra

These are absolutely superb

and so glad to see you back

Alexandra

Wow!! some amazing activity here

It takes me ages to put together one animation, but three!! wow

Alexandra

WOW!! these are stunning images

A very warm and sunny welcome and thank you for showing us the results

Alexandra

WOW!! these are stunning images

A very warm and sunny welcome and thank you for showing us the results

Alexandra

Certainly very eerie

Alexandra

Great images Pedro

I've not really had a go with the Moon yet but it is on my list.

Alexandra

Terrific set especially the full discs

I was going to ask where the eclipse pics are, but definitely the breakfast juice takes priority

Alexandra

Fantastic images

I'm glad you got some sunshine, the weather here in the UK is just about the worst I have known in my life

the wettest year on record I am sure.

Alexandra

Beautiful detail, always a first class full disc

Alexandra

These are lovely Michael in both wavelengths

Alexandra

Looks like the activity is increasing rapidly over the 3 days which is good

Alexandra

Wow!! wonderful images Ralph but the proms are like a work of art

Alexandra

The prom in the SW still keeps on looking spectacular

Go on, what is the SCH?
Alexandra

These are lovely images, but what you should see with a single stack. I know what you mean about temperature though, my Solarscope is exactly the same and needs to be warm and cosy to work properly, the hotter the better. I am sure the etalon also needs to be warm as well as the blocking filter. :bo...

what have you named your little boat James?

We haven't been boating yet because it still isn't built

been going since last early October and should have been finished 31st March

The builder is a bit miserable and we wouldn't recommend them.

Alexandra

Very nice surge!!

Just got a flare alert 17:00 UTC M5

Alexandra

Superb images Petr, I would expect nothing less

the top image made me feel like I needed to hold on tight, as the hill looks very steep

Alexandra

Thanks James, it looks like those two ARs in the north are growing

Alexandra

Oh :cry: :cry: it just makes you want to scream :( I get that with ISS transits too :( it is heart breaking. But, you have some fabulous partials :bow :bow :hamster: My first eclipse it rained, but everything went dark and the crowds roared and everyone was taking photos. Then you could see the ligh...

I don't know Martin, I think these are superb

However, I guess that is why some of the professional observatories are surrounded by water

Alexandra

Oh how wonderful! you live in the most delightful place

and wonderful images with both SeeStar and regular equipment

Alexandra

So many filaments!! it would be interesting to see where the equator is as they make it difficult to tell as there is no complete clear area.

Alexandra

Sounds like a super day James even if the Sun wasn't out, good old Slooh to the rescue

Looks like another wet and windy weekend for me.

Alexandra

Eric, I wish you all the best with the nose, I hope it was the better type of cancer and all is now well

These are terrific shots, I love the crescent where the Sun looks like it has a beard

Alexandra

Alexandra

Beautiful!!! I hope those little ARs in the north start to blossom

Alexandra

Oh my!!!!

Alexandra

3 cheers for the palm

never thought I would say that

Alexandra

This is fabulous!!!

Alexandra

These are absolutely fabulous Warren, I think the little SeeStar deserves a SPOD at some point

Alexandra

All that eclipse craziness and it is nice to get back to some good old complete discs

Alexandra

You have such a clear sky Pedro and beautiful round stars

Alexandra

Absolutely wonderful!! I think the best thing to do is enjoy the eclipse with your eyes, the visual is so much better than any photo. Any photos are a bonus though :bow :hamster: I remember learning my camera with my eyes closed and counting the sequence for the exposure levels I wanted. By the time...

This filament looks like it is being sucked down the tube or whirl pool
