Time and experience will tell though!

Al.

I prefer early morning, before the sun heats up the ground. That's when
I've managed to get the best observations of suns spots and images,
with baader films anyways so I guess Ha will be the same. I can usually
get a couple of hours in before work, if there is something to look at. It's
going to be nice to see and or image something other than sunspots.
