Ha Full Disk 25th March 23
Hi All,
Finally got a glimpse of sunshine on Saturday, it was hazy and was plagued by thickening scudding clouds, but grabbed a disk with the DS50 setup. Lots of things happening on the sun, I enjoyed spending some time visually exploring the disk and limb before I imaged.

I did get one more image before the clouds put an end to things.

Today is raining, but was nice to see the sun yesterday!

Very nice, Mark. That’s a lovely FD.
Good to see you managed to get some rays over the weekend.

Very nice full disk and detail.
I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Mark,
I am glad you finally got some time on the Sun, both visually and imaging. Your images look really nice and enviably evenly tuned and illuminated. I hope you get some more imaging time soon. Especially in CaK!!
