Things were not bad ... until the clouds moved in. Still, despite the clear skies the Transparency was rated Poor by the Clear Skies Chart for the area. Transparency is calculated from the total amount of water vapor in the air. Poor seeing or poor transarency doesn't make for good astronomical photographs. But, you take what you can get ... ie try to make lemonade out of lemons.

Sunspot 2882 there in the middle is a beauty. And, I haven't been taking photos of the sun for very long, but that prom up there at 1 o'clock is one of the longest I've seen.
