Post by Thefatkitty »

Hey everyone :D

Early morning again today; on the road at 5:30. Nice and clear, then the winds picked up mid-morning, and it started raining just before I got in at a bit after 1PM. 2 hours of that, then it finally stopped. I went out the back and saw blue sky with white fluffies racing through.
Well, why not try... I usually do sets of 2000 frames; today I did 9 sets of 500. Between the wind gusts blowing tree branches into my FOV and the clouds, there was no way I'd get off the 20ish seconds that 2000 frames takes to do without some interference :lol:

The ninth set worked the best, and I stacked the best 10 frames.

AR's 3664 & 38 together are a bit larger than Jupiter. You go ol' Sol!

Raining again here and that's fine. I got what I wanted ;)

Clear skies all!
