My session time was from 14:40 until 15:05 UTC. The skies was mostly clear but the seeing is below average. The Coronado 90 ( Ha ) and the C102 ( 540nm )were mounted on my Losmandy AZ8. The camera used was my PGR Grasshopper on the MacBook Pro running ASTRO IIDC in image capture. The images were edited in PS CC2020. The temperature out was 70F ( 21.1C ).
It was a short but productive session. Anymore what little " me " time I have is spent doing solar and that has became difficult to find time to do. Life has become so busy lately.
Carpe Diem!!

Re: September 21 2023 Imaging.
The Sun certainly has developed a bad case of acne, that's for sure! This show turned out surprisingly well considering the seeing was not that great. Thanks Alexandra!!
