Our summer weather continues to be atrocious with rain, wind and storms for the last 3 days. This morning there was a number of small gaps in the clouds for about 15 minutes allowing us to capture a couple of videos and some flats. After that the clouds and storms returned.
With such a short time the Quark had only just reached temperature and we didn't get to focus, just used the last setting.
There is an interesting faint looping prom in the NW. We had to increase the exposure quite a deal for it to show at the expense of lightening the background of the image. There are also filaproms either side of North plus many active regions.
It was unfortunate not to be able to get some close ups but we were rapt to even get this much :)
Images taken with Solar Scout 60, double stacked with Lunt 40 front mounted etalon, ASI178MM & 0.5x reducer.
