Sunspots in poor seeing

Hi all,

Monday started out cloudy and threatening rain. Then about 11am the sun popped out and I set up the 4" apo. I was able to get images of both AR735 and 736. The seeing was quite bad, yet the images show some detail.

Hi Paul,

Good stuff there is a fair bit of detail visible despite your bad seeing! I try to get out even when the CSC says its going to be poor, sometimes its wrong. Besides all you need is a small couple minute long period of good seeing right? Ya never know until you try.

keep em coming
