After a week of continuing bad weather we finally at least saw the sun this morning
It doesn't take long before you are out of the routine of setting up and imaging.
Although there were not clouds, the conditions were quite poor, making it very difficult to focus. There was also a very strong and gusty north wind that managed to blow over the tripod with the SSM. Probably shouldn't have bothered but at least we got to see the sun.

Superb set.
I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

These still look nice, despite the substandard conditions. I had the same problem today and you have done better than I did.
