TerryMcK Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 If there are no clouds UK observers/imagers should see 1st contact around 10:10 with maximum around 11:04 (certainly from Manchester) and it will exit around 12:25. Fingers crossed for no bad weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 We might get to see the partial solar eclipse Thursday 10th June from some parts of the UK. The clouds might clear with a bit of luck. I’ll have my solar rig out just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have seen the sun earlier this morning through the scope but it is current cloudy at 15 minutes in! 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 At 11:00 I'm in the leaves of a tree now 😞 Mind you it is still grey clouds here so not moving the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It's been and gone here. Not that I saw any of it, clouds made sure of that. My location would have saw less than 10% anyway, so I don't think I missed much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) The clouds intermittently cleared. I captured 96GB of videos so have to go through it all to get some decent pictures from. 🙂 Edited June 10, 2021 by TerryMcK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazAstro Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Managed a few handheld DSLR / 300mm handhelds. DIY Baader solar sheet, slight false colour in Photoshop. 4 images stacked and sharpened - actually shows a couple of active regions (Just) 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPK_Astro Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Completely clouded out here. I've seen posts from various people I know who managed to get something through the clouds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 This is one of the stack. It was late on when the moon was leaving the sun. I think the lower dot is an aberration but the upper darker spot may be a sun spot. Plenty of clouds made the image a little softer. Scope WOZS73 Altair Astro Herschel Wedge with Baader Solar Continuum filter before the camera Camera ZWO ASI183MM Capture software Sharpcap It's often the case that you have to shoot GB of video, 96 GB in my case over a few goes, just to get one 5MB PNG! Thank goodness disk space is cheap. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
