Hi all,

The evening seeing has been bad, but after the clouds left on Friday I was able to get a fair image of AR756. Today seeing was much better and my image was sharper. It felt good going under my black hood to image the sun again!!

Oh boy, that is a really detailed image! So, that's how you do it. Get under a black cloth so you get the focus just right? Well, you've done a beautiful job!

Paul - Excellent!

I am hoping the sun will cooperate and give me a peek at this spot -
