THEO-007 · Post by **THEO-007** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:11 pm

Make an observation today at 12:45 pm GREECE time.

I DISAPPOINTED.

The solar disk in not good. Very weak. Seams like a tired machine. Haven`t fuel.

The chromospheric network exhausted. GRANULATION nothing. And the CaK line didh`t something good for the future.

Make a sketch today in laptop from what i see in two observed hours. Try very hard to make best observation.

What i see. Only three small Q.R.FILAMENTS and some to small prominences.

That`s all.

Very bad observed day under medium seeing.

The first sketch in my sketchblog.....

WHAT I SEE AT 12:45 pm GREEK TIME TODAY

Hi,THEO-007
Thats life.You know almost the whole of last year and half of this year was like that.Almost everyday I set up my scope just to be dissipointed.The same applies to looking at the Perseid.For the past 3 nights I stay up till 4am just to be frustrated by the gathering of clouds that starts around 3am and will completely cover the sky after 4am.Amatuer astronomy is also a hobby which test your patience ! Thanks.
