Daylight.

It was only a week or so ago and it was still dark at 6am. I guess it makes it hard now for the early morning viewing sessions. Anyone keen enough to get up a bit earlier for morning viewing..??

Not on your life. By the time I get to bed, 7:00 is an early morning.

It's still not too bad now, I sometimes get up early for some Mars imaging but in a few months it will be near impossible as it gets light at about 4am.

At that hour of the day you should have had tea in bed
Don't forget to post the solar viewing pics for all to see.
