Sun in Whitelight 15th July 2022. Best seeing for months ...

Post by steveward53 »

Staggered at how good it was this morning , a dream start to any day ... I hope that other folk got to catch the same thing ... :D

It's so rare to see crisp detail across so many regions at the same time in a single frame , but I caught 94 just such frames from just 360 shot before it deteriorated back to it's usual wibbly-wobbly mess ... :o

The stack straight from AS!3 was better than most of my 'finished' images .... :lol:

Have used Astrobin large thumbnails here , if they are against the rules I can swap them out for mediums ... ?

Wonderful white light image Steve! Lovely details on the sunspots. The weather in Finland seems like the UK now, I miss the good days in spring and June :)

I changed my mind, I preferred this one after you posted it :) You had a few hours of the 14th and then the 15th :)

I need to stop now before my head hurts again ;)

I hope for good seeing again but I'll be happy just to get clear enough skies to observe or image come morning.
