First day of winter.
Our weather continues to be challenging for astronomy. Another 6 days of clouds and rain have gone by but contrary to the forecast, this morning was initially sunny. The SSM graph tells the story. All of the dips in the red reference line and the corresponding peaks of bad seeing in the yellow line are clouds which started off sparse and gradually increased to the point that it was game over which stopped our captures of 540nm images.
Full disk two panel mosaic in Ha (taken initially with no clouds).
Ha close up of AR3319 and AR3315 with a large prom on the eastern limb (these were captured in the next clear spell).
Ha close up of incoming AR3323 and AR3321, with some surges from AR3323.
Full disk two panel mosaic in 393nm (now the clouds were starting to get serious).
Close ups in 540nm taken with 6" SCT, sharpened with WaveSharp, taken through cloud until we had to stop.
The graph tells the story 1 June 2023

The Ha and K-Line images look nice. I really like the closeups of AR13319 too!
