Skies are covered in clouds here anyway so a bit of ash is not even noticeable

Been a few pix posted of absolutely startling coloured evening sunsets down south, they look unreal they are so brilliant. Looks like it's going to be 'workshop' astronomy for a while. Commnets on yellow halos from SO2 round the sun and thoughts on how long this will hang a round. Could be a while especially if the volcano keeps chucking it up in the air.
