Just a little Jellyfishing

 One of the more interesting falcon 9 launches visible from SF in a while. There were light clouds but most of the launch was visible and with the low sun the booster and fairings were very visible which was cool to see. A little bit of "jellyfishing" was visible but would have been better if it had been darker and more clear.

Exhaust trail being well lit by the low sun on slightly darker sky.

Just after booster separation.

Jellyfish starting to grow as booster falls away.

Jellyfish just visible but fairings and booster clearly standing out.

Poor Surf Hall Moth

Went to go look at the surf but it wasn't looking great and found they moth in the hall when I got back.

Sun Day Saturday!

H-alpha filter mosaic

Standard white light filter.

Some nice big sunspots and prominences today, what better way to test out my new solar h-alpha filter!

I picked up a solar h-alpha filter a month ago and it took a number of sessions over the last 4weeks to get the basics all worked out. That and without fail each time I picked up something I realized I was missing it would be overcast for about a week. It is SF so probably not just because of the new astro gear?
