Tuesday 19 April at the Starshed.

Post by Gordon Ewen »

Hello all, I managed to get some video at around 0845 this morning before leaving the house. It was shot through thin high cloud and I was surprised the images came out as well as they did. No time to attempt an animation. I must say I'm quite excited to see the group of spots we now have in view and I see another followiong AR 2993 and 2994 over the limb. I just need some good weather - don't we all!.
Gordon
