20240812 Sun

The sun is still very active.  We have a thunderstorm thuis morning but the sky cleared later in the afternoon, it's very windy, however.

1410 and 1411 (UT+1), at prime focus:



And then I insert a 2x barlows for close up:

1416 (UT+1)

1414 (UT+1)


1413 (UT+1)



Sorry about the reversed order.

I also pulled out my 8" SCT for a couple of white light shots, I guess I will want to add a color filter, say red, to reduce the disturbance from seeing but I forgot.

1433 and 1434 (UT+1)
