Sun: Finally! 7/29/2022
It has been a while due to clouds, rain, etc. I have been wanting to give my new Acer Laptop a go at imaging and processing and what a difference an updated computer makes! Apps actually open up immediately, the screen is easier to see out in the sun even though I have always used a "Garage" for my computers. Now I need to get used to the screen resolution which is over twice what my old Dell was. My images are pretty tiny in Photoshop now! Working it out though, but once again, new equipment is always a curse for the weather so sorry to anyone in SW Ohio! Didn't get a lot of time and clouds were scuttling by but managed 25 minutes for the animation of the NW Limb which was pretty tame. Some decent spicules dancing on the limb though! Also needed to get accustomed to the updated Firecapture which I didn't even realize was out there. Love the addition of the Pause Button on the automated capture sequence now.
