Arrrrrgghhhhh!
I have a new solar scope, new mount and time on my hands.......but the weather really bites.
Here was the only image I was able to take so far this morning.
I did however use a focal reducer to achieve a full disc image - very high exp and gamma through the clouds but there it was on screen - looking forward to some disc work soon.........maybe........?????
Congrats Matt
Hope the weather clear for you and looking forward to seeing the images.
