Some Solar from today, 2 May

Hi all
It should be called Clouday today - the Sun was only out for 30% of the time.
I did manage several features across the disc but the conditions were the worst I have seen for some time - however my 60mm scope is very forgiving and I am happy with todays results.
The northern hemisphere image is the Lunt60 at prime focus, the others are with a 2.5 Powermate - the non numbered active region has a couple of little proms near by (they were captured at the same exposure rate as the disc - I was surprised they were visible). The other two images have small filaments and some magnetic disruptions in the Chromosphere.
Time to mow the lawn!
I hope you enjoy.

Lovely work as usual, Matt.

It's a brilliant clear day here, so I captured some sunnage as well this morning before I started my jobs. I'll process and post them later.
