A handsome anvil cloud appeared eastward early this morning. The temperature was pleasant (compared to noon) +17 degrees humid. The summer morning feeling was really in place. The mist raft above ground level and the shadows cast by thunder clouds into the hazy air added to the atmosphere.

Sunspot 3038. Sunny weather, of course, favors description but heat usually means poor seeing. Using a meter, I found a place on the plot where seeing was good. Steady wind and water surface a few meters away. I reduced the imaging area (ROI) of the sensor, got a faster shooting speed, and in half a minute I got a couple thousand images of which I stacked a few hundred. With this technique, I got clearly more details visible. My goal is to take a high resolution picture of the whole sun but making a mosaic is so challenging that I try to learn how to get more out of the bigger sensor. Lunt 80 ...

The crescent moon rose into the clear sky and was still able to separate the planet Venus before sunrise with the naked eye.

Over the early summer, I built Sol’Ex spectral heliography according to Christian Buil’s instructions . The device can capture the sun at any wavelength of visible light. Attached is an image of the chromosphere of the sun this morning in the light of the H-alpha wavelength (656 nanometers).

Paula Wirtanen, Ursa (Helsinki)
With the naked eye I imagined seeing something miscellaneous in the northwest, since then I no longer saw that trace. In the situation of observation, it was difficult to say at all whether or not there might be a night cloud there. In the end, I came to the conclusion that that night cloud might not be, but just because of the twilight rays, I took a photo of the area for sure. However, when examining and processing the photograph, it appears that there is a very delicate and dim belt illuminating the night cloud, which looks quite similar to the observations made by others from the same dire...

The camera captures dim illuminated night clouds from the twilight rays. Attached is a sample of roughly the best (least weak) moment (1.32) in the standard and USM versions. From the USMatted version of the timelapset recording, I estimate the cloud time to be about 1.00-2.30.
