First day of winter.
Our weather continues to be challenging for astronomy. We have been a bit slow and missed a couple of narrow opportunities over the last 6 days of clouds and rain. Contrary to the forecast, this morning was initially sunny. The SSM graph tells the story. All of the dips in the red reference line and the corresponding peaks of bad seeing in the yellow line are clouds which started off sparse and gradually increased to the point that it was game over which stopped our captures of 540nm images.
Full disk two panel mosaic in Ha (taken initially with no clouds).
Ha close up of AR3319 and AR3315 with a large prom on the eastern limb (these were captured in the next clear spell).
