C'est une bonne nouvelle mon ami!! Only a few days now...

Very warm and clear here, a nice start to the month, though I know it won't last.

Had some time today, Ca-K and white light:

Here's to clear skies and an active month!

thanks Mark,
yes I hope so, but I know that they are late in the doiniere clearance.
after that I have to wait for them to deliver it to David and then to me.
but at least he is close to me.
very nice set of pics again .

Merci Jean-Yves pour les comments, and customs here is a pain sometimes! Hopefully it's closer to you now...

Got somewhat lucky yesterday and today. October 3rd, and here in southern Ontario the temps should be about 15C (60F) ish. Not today:

This is from Monday,

And this is today.

And this is me signing off here, 7 hours and I'm up again. Have a good night/day all!

very nice photo set Mark, here the mercury has risen to 31 c, the times are changing.
but I know that the snow will come anyway.

My stack from Oct 2, I added a simple #8 yellow to my filter hack for broadband H beta to tighten the bandwith and that resulted in more prominent H beta details and worked out quite nice,

I noticed though after the session the IrUvCut had my fingerprint on it

Still the images are surprisingly ok...


Clouds again on the break up here so maybe tomorrow the Sun will again be mine.

Also today I ordered a filter for the upcoming 390nm hack, from China though and it might not get here for some time..

By the way...

Nice Imaging Mark! And fabricating on your setup, finding the Sun Quickly is way more fun.


Best of Sun of course *

Huge detached prom today.

I missed it but Peter Ward, a friend of mine, posted this roll-over image.

Great images Aaron, and thanks for the link Joe; awesome!


Today is Sunday the 8th and the temperature got no higher than 8C today (~50F). Was bound to happen. And the rain hasn't let up all day either. Cold and damp!


I got lucky on the 4th, 6th and 7th. By lucky I mean at the most a 15 minute window under hazy skies. Still, get it where you can sometimes:

This I took on the 5th (no solar luck that day), fall is coming fast...

My long range forecast promises 20mm of rain next Saturday, a partial solar eclipse for me. I so hope that is wrong!!!

Good luck to you all

[helicon]

So you've got a chance to see the annular eclipse, weather permitting???

very nice photos Mark,
let's say that the temperature has changed drastically, from 35c to 3c ouffff .

[messier 111]

where I live, the sun will be 20% covered.
I still hope to see this phenomenon.

C'est le meme chose pour moi aussi; 20%. @helicon Michael, yes it would be the same for me as Jean-Yves, maybe an extra .5%... Of course, my forecast is calling for rain!

Good luck all/bonne chance mon ami!!
