Hi all,

I can't believe it!! I got a window of blue sky this morning and almost broke my neck getting the equipment out to obsereve the sun!! (Not really, but makes a good story...)

Here is my image of AR735 shot with my ED100 and Atik 1HS camera. Obviously seeing not good, but it felt good to be under the black hood again! I am hoping for a window tonite for Saturn as we are getting an 80% chance of rain until Thursday.

Hello Paul,
A nice image and some some good detail showing through in the penumbra. What exposure setting do you image the sun at?
