The temp is still 92 deg with 80 humidity. I took my scope out from the air conditioning without it stabilizing so it's not that good but you can still make out the ring. http://www.pbase.com/hobbynaut/image/118266649 Chuck -------------------- Criterion rv-6 (original owner 1976) 12" f/5 Dob (Astrosystem) 127 Orion Skyview Pro 8" f/5 Orion newt WO FLT110 f/7 eq6 mount Canon Rebel xt Phillips spc900 webcam Orion Starshoot 1 and 2 Orion 80mm ed Orion 72mm Eon Lunt 60mm double stack Post Extras:       darkstar528 Postmaster Reged: 03/06/07 Posts: 6784 Loc: Hodgenville, Kentucky, USA Re: Smoke ring prom from 10-13-09 [Re: chuck p]       #3387720 - 10/13/09 06:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice shot! -------------------- Blue skies, Stephen "Darkstar" Ames PST(#96038), VIXEN 8-24mm,CEMAX 2x Barlow, Thousand Oaks White Light Filter and a Meade Elec EP CFI, CFII, MEI, working on EIEIO!

The shape didn't last very long, maybe 1/2 hour. The active region that is very close to the edge looked great. There was a huge filiment in the center. I wish I could have got a pic of that but my camera doesn't do good with surface detail. I'm working on the settings. I should have hooked up the web cam.
