Sunshine again! Seeing 0/10 to 3/10, strong breeze is nice in terms of the hot weather, but it's not very much appreciated while you're imaging. Transparency is pretty nice at 5/10.

Tele Vue Ranger with 0.5x corrector for full disc shots, and then with Tele Vue 5x Powermate for close up. This time, I took that dying active region as well as a forming active region, as well as a nice prominence complex.

1413 (GMT+8), remnant of that active region:-

A nice and complex group of prominence, these were dim, I've to pushed exposure to 1/8s with very high gain:-
