Description

My first try imaging the Sun with a plain foil filter normally used for visual observing. Had a lot of luck with that one because all of Slovenia and the countries around had bad weather.

We had the whole week rain and also today the weather looked bad.

The previous night was clear so i did setup my CEM25p mount and did alignment.

Today whole day clouds, at transit start there was even some rain so I did cover all the equipment.

About an hour before sunset it did clear up to the point i could do some images just over my home location. All around clouds!

The clear weather lasted about 20 minutes after that the sun was gone behind a tree and the clouds did come back. Hope you like it.

Shot with Sharpcap, 3000 Frames, Stacked 500 in AS. Some color correction in LR.
