Solar sketch

Set up the PST for our last day in the Grampians on the double plate bought for my (new!) Losmandy GM8. Had a good look a few times, and did this sketch at about 2pm. I combined the view from a couple of different 'tunings' to get a bit more detail about the sunspots - and when I tuned it back to where the prominences were visible, there was a brand new one on the righthand limb! It was very exciting
