No chance for animations today so instead of setting up the main mount I grabbed the Vixen Port-A-Mount II with my Lunt LS60T DS and used my Siebert 1.6X Barlow to give me a bit more room for the disk to drift through the FOV of the Saturn-M SQR.  It is a bit under sampled but not by much.  I wasn't sure I was focused well since I also did not use my laptop "garage" but I guess I came close enough!  Man, a lot going on that I would have liked to capture in an animation on the SE as well as the SW limb!  Maybe somebody else was able to get more time for an animation.

 

Nice M Class flare at AR3883 at the time of capture 14:18 UTC
