Although the air was discoloured and milky from nearby bush fires burning N of Brisbane, the seeing turned out to be quite reasonable, despite the pungent smoke affecting our suburb as I was imaging the Sun this morning.
This image is dedicated to the brave Australian fire fighters, working in horrendous, hot and windy conditions whilst fighting fires, burning out of control across the south-east states of Australia – I salute your selfless courage.
