Sun Spots (20230101) – hello 2023!

Check out my seeing animation taken here in the Alps under continued bad conditions.

Every new year we hope and expect to be better than the last one. We tend to think this way whether we buy new equipment, start a new work or a new project out of pure creativity or enthusiasm. Confidence and hope never end ...

Same with me: Though seeing conditions were still far from average this first day of 2023 and passing thin clouds were always in front of the Sun, I tried what I could achieve under these seeing conditions on the first day of this new year 2023. Compared to the day before (December 31, 2022), the seeing was better. Still I needed several tries and took over 6000 frames over some hours. To check these out and select the best ones took me a couple of hours as opposed to 10-15 minutes when seeing is very good.

Welcome 2023 – things are getting better!
