As we have had a glut of clear skies with that bright thingy in the sky, has anyone managed to get any images of the sun and any spots?

Which raises a couple of questions.........................

Are you coming to DSC ?
Are you bringing the solar scope ?

Tangoed by Mick ... Now that is a worry :o

Mick, I wasn't able to go to DSC but that may now be possible - won't know till Thursday.  If not then I could drop it with Mike for the DSC...

Cheers Robert - That should ensure rain at DSC and clear skies at home over the weekend  :(

I'm not going to be able to get to DSC, does anyone have time to come over and pick it up?

Ahhh.. Wish I knew that earlier. I could pick it up tomorrow Robert before I go to DSC. Perhaps around 6.30 if you are in ?

Sorry Mike, I wanted to go but there's just too much else on.  I'll have it ready for you when you come over.
