First "real" observation of the Sun at 1420MHz

On the graph below I captured half of the Sun's transit through the antenna lobe.
The antenna was pointed at Sun (using the feeder shadow), the Earth rotation did the rest..
The plot is actually the presentation of the the audio signal, coming from audio card.. not ideal method, what I really need is to somehow couple the output from SDR with chart recorder..
The noise bursts visible on the plot are system sounds and random noise, probably from environment.. Couple of magpies trying to nest in my antenna also caused some of them.
