Hi Guys;

The 300 nm NAM forecast:

was right on the money - we had very low turbulence before it clouded over this morning.

I shot that new big sunspot group at 3,850 mm focal length (2.5x Televue) with the MAK 127 mm Orion scope  white light filter, a red Astrodon filter and the Grasshopper 2 camera cooled to 25°C (it's 43°C in the sun today - 33°C in the shade).

Best 90 frames out of 2200 recorded, 17 MAP areas, stacked and processed with Astro IIDC.

TTYL..
