Had a great day visually and also in terms of imaging today. It makes a pleasant change! Here's a selection of todays captures:-




Normally i'd have just posted one of these, but prom wise there's alot going on in both. SM40 @f10 DMK31

Here's a close up of one of the many proms

SM40 @f30 DMK31

A bit of blue...

CaK PST @f10 DMK31

I quite like these 'inverted' shots, so thought I would give them a go seeing as the sun is so hairy today!

SM40 @f16 DMK31

SM40 @f10 DMK31

Hope you like them! I'm off to the pub now!

Mark

Superb, Mark! We've got family and friends spread about the UK and usually visit everyone when we come over. It'd be great to meet up with you for a solar session one of the times. Paul's making the trip over at the end of the month. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go this time around.

Yes, Mark's orientation matches mine, so North is about 2-3 o'clock and west is 11-12 o'clock.
