Hey everyone :D

Another early day for me. Was on the road heading west at a bit before 6AM, got to my first call at 7AM. I noticed the Moon setting in the west as well, it was nice to watch the progress as dawn crept in. Red skies to the east in my rearviews, then that cleared and it became very clear. I took this leaving my first call at 7:15AM. Best you can do with an iPhone 12 :D

Traffic is light on the northern country roads, I got my day done at 1:30PM, and only half an hour to home.

Clear this morning, but the fluffies were starting to thicken up when I pulled in the driveway. I wanted to see how AR3615 was coming along, and it's probably my last day to see it. It is a monster, yet there doesn't seem to be much behind it at the moment. Not a solar minimum, but not much there either. Fear not, we've got a ways to go with this cycle :D

I've got this all down to a science; I was set up in not even 5 minutes. I took 7 stacks of 2000 frames and picked the best. I was really happy with this stack; I think it turned out well. Of course, that's my opinion...

I used Lusol3D for a bit better view of AR3615, and thought to make the Sun into 3D. If you have a pair of 3D glasses, this really pops out.

Alrighty, time to fire up the BBQ. It's 10C (50F) out, the flames should keep me warm, as well as a beer or two ;)

Have a good day/night all, and all the best.
