25.06.2021 Imaging between clouds.

 *

 

Friday 25th 57/62F early sunshine is forecast to be short lived. 

So here I am in the observatory [again] watching clouds crossing the greatly enlarged sun. [Again.]

I might as well have started early on gluing ribs.

Let's try proms. Change the GPC for 2.6x and swap form Lunt to PST BF. 

8.57 Not too bad considering all the cloud.With bigger stuff arriving.

09.13. This prom was so unexpected I have moved it to the top.

 

It clouded over so I went for my morning walk.

 

 AR12833 sliding off the disk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11.21 Changed the GPC to a 2x Barlow. This is captured through cloud.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12.59 Discovered huge disturbed area in the east. Above and below an obvious candidate for an AR award.

Imaging though cloud. This is with the PST BF.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13.50 Returned from lunch. Sky still white between the clouds. ASCOM[AWR] wants to go the wrong way to the sun. I'll have to drive it manually on the paddle!

 

Captured the disturbed eastern hemisphere with a variety of GPCs and the Lunt BF. 

The sky is bright white. The only blue is low down.

My PST etalon will not provide an even spread across the image at lower powers/wider fields of view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15.07. More of a close-up with the 2.6x GPC.
 Pushed hard in ImPPG for detail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunny periods after 18.00 but still with milky cloud.

18.21 A brief clearing.

 

 

 

18.43 The cloud persists to the last.
