Ha Full Disk 25th March 23

Post by marktownley »

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 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.
