This weather is doing my head in!

[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

Arrrrrgghhhhh!
I have a new solar scope, new mount and time on my hands.......but the weather really bites.

Here was the only image I was able to take so far this morning.

I did however use a focal reducer to achieve a full disc image - very high exp and gamma through the clouds but there it was on screen - looking forward to some disc work soon.........maybe........?????

Congrats Matt

Hope the weather clear for you and looking forward to seeing the images.
