Well the wait is over. I finally got out this morning for about 45 minutes to do some solar observing before the cloud completely obscured the sun. We have had over 26 days of rain so it was a well deserved break in the weather.
It was my first time at home using the Coronado PST and even though some high cirrus was getting in the way of finer detail, I did manage to see one good size solar flare and a couple of smaller ones. There were also a couple of very small sunspots but anything on the face of the sun was lacking in detail, though there were a couple of moments of relatively clear seeing where the view became quite sharp and detailed.
I hope its not to long before I get a chance to do some more solar observing with my Coronado PST. The weather forecast for the next 5 days is...you guessed it...RAIN!
