Today's Solar Activity:1384

It's been a while since my last imaging session, many of you know that we moved to a new house (house that we own!). I had a chance to to setup my scope and shoot the sun just this afternoon (finally). Though I was not able to get good close up images because I got clouded out. Antipolo skies is darker than where we came from. Hope to get a good widefield scope in the coming months (now read that as "years").

Enjoy our active sun!

Rough Total Lunar Eclipse: December 10, 2011


After a day of rain, we almost lost hope of witnessing this spectacular event..the skies cleared up a bit at around totality..I set up my scope with an umbrella on my side and my wife..ready to help me set down in case it rains. Rough time to image but I was still able to get even a glimpse of it.
