The sun is finally clearing the trees again at my observatory site! Here are two images of ARs 2488 (with the big "blobby" filament) and 2489 (with a small prominence visible). The Newton's Rings are a problem--I took these images with a Barlow (PST-DS scope) and ASI 120MM imager. Neverthless, it's good to be back imaging again!
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
