Sunday Morning Sunnage

[sheeny]

Beautiful clear skies this morning so I captured these before the clouds rolled in and I got into doing other jobs.:)

All captured with the SM40, ED80, B1200, DMK 41AU02.AS and the high resolution ones have a 2.5x Powermate in the train.

I was hoping to see some images from today.
So much activity. I showed my 2 boys and they loved the photos too.

Thanks guys.

I'm happy with No 1. The high resolution images are just a tad soft. Not sure if it's seeing, or focus or just the smaller aperture of the SM40 (at f/18.75). Focus was definitely the best I could do in the circumstances.

Nice going Al. I tried but cloud and circumstances foiled my attempt. Here's for a bit more activity so we can keep the dust off the ol' Ha scopes for a bit longer

I wouldnt get too critical Al remember the Sun is also nearly at its lowest for you guys now so youre gonna be battling seeing anyway

All the images are lovely Al but that first one's a cracker !!
I love the flare at the 3 o'clock position, giving the image a real 3D look !
Beautiful granulation too mate.

Great images Al, like everyone else I liked #1.

Not much Sun, or time, or energy to get out and image the big yellow thing... even if it is in visible light. Thanks for sharing and congrats for IOTW.
