Today's Sol Image.

A quick Sol image, before the clouds moved in.

Sparrows chirping in the hedgerow, fairly mild weather, with the odd gust.

Much cloud about, but thankfully a few gaps to catch a quick photo.

The Red Vixen & February Sol.

These past few months my little Red Vixen has been taking a vacation in our Son's attic.

Yesterday I decided to dust off this most wonderful micro telescope, and take it on a few more journeys in the 

Motorhome.

Down to Newgale this afternoon, not long before sunset. 

Old Sol was hiding behind much cloud, but, with the odd gap appearing I managed a few pictures through the little Red Vixen.

First Sol image of February, fingers crossed for more to follow over the next couple of Fevrier weeks.

Hello February. Remembering Tal

This first day of Février was made up of four seasons.  

An early morning Winter, a midday Spring, a Summery promise around teatime, and a decidedly Autumnal evening!

The Sun headed over the mountains and far away at 16h53m UT tonight. 

It was a glorious sight to see the now noticeable return of the light. 

Today I deleted my Instagram account, its been long overdue.

Before doing so I downloaded all my photos.

 

Here's a photo of my old Tal1 Newtonian reflector. 

This little telescope revealed many of the wonders of the night sky. 

If you can find one of these gems grab it, you won't be disappointed.
