28.5.19

28th May 2019 Solar. Prom.

Tuesday: A rather cloudy day with short sunny periods. At 5pm I finally managed to see a superb prom through the binoviewers in H-alpha. Situated at 10.00. Could see nothing visible on the disk in H-a or white light. Didn't try to image today.

The "Skywatcher" clone DC focuser motor had completely flattened the 9V battery. A brand new battery showed only 5.6V DC straight out of the pack. I believe these things respond to a 12V DC wall wart, power supply. I have loads of these in various voltages so ought to give this a try.
