Welcome to my astronomy blog, I dedicate myself to the simplest form of amateur astronomy which requires only portable equipment. I have two small refractors, two small binoculars, one small GOTO mount and another small equatorial mount, and a small H-alpha solar filter. Originally from a city where the people were proud of their light pollution, that is Hong Kong where I loved. Relocated to the UK since 2021.

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)
Very active sun, glad that I did some imaging.
1136 (UT+1), taken with a reducer:
