Considering all those cloudy days of January, I was more than pleased to capture the following Hydrogen alpha images.

Typewriter astro experiment
Just trying out one of my astronomy typewriter journal entries.
Was wondering what it would look like on my Blog site.

Solar wash out - Setting Sun.
So far this month the Seeing** and Transparency have been awful.
I've had a few clear blue skies, but the transparency problem has left the prominences washed out and lacking in contrast.
No doubt the Sol imaging will better itself as the weeks go by.
Yesterday evening, the sunset from our village looked amazing.
I wondered if I could catch an image of old Sol as he sank into the nearby hills.
Here is the result:
You can just make out a large prominence at about the 350 degree position on the Sun's edge.
Through the Ha telescope it looks amazing to witness the Sun dropping out of sight behind a foreground of man made objects, in this instance some hilltop sheep fencing.
