It took me alot of time to finish this one because I was also working on some Jupiter videos at the same time. Jupiter videos The 26th and 27th were pretty good days here in Texas. Especially good for Solar viewing. Its odd too because prior to these days it rained for a week and a half staight and since those two days its rained almost everyday or been solid clouds.
