Sun images from Melbourne Australia 20 March 2023

Post by Averton »

It was meant to be cloudy today but we were surprised when the clouds started to clear mid morning. Although the conditions were not great and it was quite windy, we set up and were able to get a few images in before things deteriorated further. It was good to capture some of the new incoming regions.
The seeing was ordinary at an average of 3.0 arc seconds with a standard deviation of 0.8

Great set of photos. Nice work.


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