Tuesday After early rain the sky cleared to blue. A soon as I was set up the sky was solid grey again!
The mounting was covered in dew. The sandwich boxes on the base ring were well filled from overnight rain. Weather coming from the west today.
The next couple of hours were spent waiting for teaser patches of blue. The prom was a struggle due to background glare. I rotated the tilt plates several times to darken the background and then added the 2x WO Barlow. More adjustments followed. PhotoFiltre7 tidied things up.

Gong H-a shows no proms and only minor markings on the disk. Nothing visible in white light. First slew to the sun was way off the mark again. Both LST calculators agreed with AWR's LST. Location in DC Du C [Skychart] is accurate as is AWR.The image right is a recoloured view of the solar surface in white light. The granular appearance is the result of convection cells. Captured with the ZWO120MC with 2x WO Barlow in the 7" for 4.3m focal length. Processed in Registax6 and PhotoFiltre7. The sun's disk as seen on the 27" monitor must be over 6' in diameter!
