Sunny Sunday (morning) 7th August 2022
A sunny morning this morning and an opportunity to image across the spectrum in Ha, Ca II K and at 430 nm to create full disk images and a few closer views of two sunspots in Ha.
The seeing conditions were okay at the start, but quickly deteriorated part way through the session making any close views in CaK impossible. My 'white light' mosaic image (captured at 430 nm) has a few dodgy sections as a result of variable seeing at the time this was taken.
My images below are not in chronological order.

Mid morning the seeing dropped off a cliff and that was that....
Thank you for looking.

Fantastic work.
I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Stu,
Nice results here on all three lights despite the seeing. You are one of our greats here with CaK imaging.

Re: Sunny Sunday (morning) 7th August 2022
You have re-enforced my views Stu. It looked very similar at the time I observed though you got a few more pores than I did on the SW triple active regions.

Re: Sunny Sunday (morning) 7th August 2022
Many thanks, everyone. I really appreciate your kind comments.
Regrettably, although a week of fine weather has been forecast here, builders on my driveway are creating a lot of dust so I won't be setting up anywhere near them any time soon. That said, they start early and finish at around 3:00 -3:30 pm, so I do have a chance in the late afternoons, although by then the seeing conditions are generally pretty rubbish for hi-res work. The weekends are better as they don't generally work then, but it's a gamble on whether the weather will still be suitable.
