I had a clear day yesterday and I was able to take a few videos of our star.  The solar activity is at a low point at the moment so there wasn't much to image for our purposes.  I am posting a few images from yesterday but nothing that I am very happy with.

I hope that we haven't dropped into a sudden solar minimum.  :-)

I managed to get in some imaging time yesterday.  The conditions were fairly good with some 'Boiling' in the sky from a layer of haze.  The results weren't what I would have liked but I will share a few of the images.

  Hopefully a better day will come along soon.  :-)
