The Calcium-K Three, March 28th 2008 new
      #2288070 - 03/28/08 12:18 PM

Hi all,

After a wet start to the day, the skies cleared just after lunch allowing me to collect the usual CaK and H-a data sets. Here's the first result, an f/50 mosaic of the three active regions. Getting rather large now!

Inspiring detail and overview. If only we had a sky clearing further north! Les

How you guys ever pull yourself away from the scopes when you can see like that I'll never know, but god love ya as we wouldn't get to see them otherwise! I need more monitors for all these pictures I want to stare at all day also, it's not fair! LOL
