Ha FD 16th Jan 2023

Post by Carbon60 »

The seeing conditions remained poor this morning and as a result I couldn't get anything useful from any of my kit other than the Lunt 60, which I used for a full disk image and panorama of the main (new) active regions. Everything else ended up in the bin. So frustrating when the sky is beautifully blue but the seeing is cr4p :roll:

The Sun is still looking very impressive :cool:

Many thanks, Alexandra. Sorry to hear about the fog. Maybe tomorrow will be better (unless you’re at work)?

When we do get blue skies, the frustration is the poor seeing conditions.
