August 11 2022. SUNoculars. Last minute WL

Post by DeepSolar64 »

Today has been overcast all day up to a short while ago at 18:10UT I got a very brief clearing where I could get the Lunt 8x32 SUNoculars on the Sun. I could see three spots. Those of AR13076 ( NE quad ) AR13074 ( SW Quad ) and AR13071 ( SW Quad ). Through the thin clouds present I could not see AR13078 ( SE Quad ) or AR13077 ( SW Quad ) AR13077 would be difficult in the 8x32s even in clear steady skies. Maybe not visible at all.

Gotta go. Work calls....
