05/10/24 Sun in CaK
Not the greatest weather today, but I really wanted to have a gander at AR3664. Clouds and a bit of rain when I got in at one. The rain stopped at about three, and I could see some blue sky between the slow moving clouds. I set up, cracked a beer and waited. And waited, had another beer, and then about 4PM I took 500 frames. My sky just afterwards I did all that, the Sun is the green dot to the upper middle on the right in amongst the tree branches.
My usual thing is to get 2000 frames and process the SER file in AS3. Today, I ran the 500 frame SER file through PIPP and converted it to TIFF files. Not much to work with here. From that, I stacked the best 5 frames in AS3. It's not good by any means and adding colour made it worse so I didn't go there, but it gives you an idea of just how big this AR is.
Tomorrow I'm supposedly in for "partly sunny" in the morning with rain in the afternoon. So often the forecast is wrong; we shall see!
Have a good day/night everyone!

I began early thursday rearranging my sleep patterns for the incoming storms so I would be up at night to bear witness and maybe catch an image of two, clear here now so we'll see !
