Brilliant!

For a sleepy Sun, you have done so well to capture an almost blank disk and with those faint proms too.

Well done Arne and keep well and warm within your snow scene too...

Hi Arne,

Well done and very nice to see that snowed landscape. That is something I miss in Mexico.

I adore the solar view that you have Arne and great view of the Sun too
