Dear All

I was away for most of April and only managed to finalise acquiring and process the below recently.  Conditions were poor for the M99 wide-field group although I am happy with the detail of the myriad of smaller galaxies (see annotated version on Astrobin).  The solar image of AR12741 was taken under very average seeing but with the solar cycle approaching minimum, any spot has to be observed!  The Rimae Hippalus close-up of the Moon was opportunistic and in much better seeing.  See you on Wednesday!
Thanks

Roberto
