Seeing wasn't too shabby this morning, the image (linked below) is at around 50% res to the original to keep it web friendly

Decided to go with a negative presentation, to highlight the filaments.

fantastic image peter did you take this from your backyard? I live not far from you and the seeing conditions have been good in the days but it gets worse at night times.

Hi Peter - happy snapping at the eclipse - totals are awesome but I reckon this one in Ha will be sweet - get it dead centre!

Imaged this morning as well but I don't think the seeing at my end was as good as your end. Good detail and nice proms.

Ta Paul. Seeing is the key.



Yep...we have a stupidly large camper van organised...hopefully the weather will co-operate :)



Thanks Ted!



Yep..fingers and toes crossed. :)



Well, yes, from the dome in my backyard. I find daytime seeing goes kaput by about 9.30am



A pleasure Leon. Thanks again for parting with the 500mm she's a pearler!



Thanks Mike



Long way to go to take a photo, but then again, you are a long time looking at the lid...;)

When I look at this image, all I can think of is the perfect engine that this celestial body is. Raw power of unfathomable magnitude...and this is a small sun....

WOW is more of a stunned exclamation of wonder and awe I feel than a word of any depth.

Thank you for sharing this magnificent image and putting the work into it!
