10.30 Set up bit no images yet. Exposure 10ms Gain 220!
10.38 Through solid cloud!
11.04 Better but still through thick, high cloud.
There is no blue sky anywhere near the sun.
I'm giving up for the moment.
17.33 Tried again as the cloud cleared.
Quite pleased with this one. My best image so far. More even brightness. Lots of detail. Finally getting somewhere.
The seeing went completely bad within a minute of this capture. Not sure why. Local solar heating effect? I had to open and turn the dome just prior to capturing this one. Perhaps the shutters were in shade and then warmed quickly in the direct sunshine?
It might be the telescope. Cooled down in the closed dome and then faced into the sun. The image on the monitor is boiling furiously. I am unable to find sharp focus. The sun is now very near to the trees. Gone.
