Sun & Moon
My first real look at some sunspots today so thought it was worth a sketch. Also catching up on some sketches in between clouds over the last few weeks.
In reverse order.
14/11/2010 Sunspots.
20mm EP 45X. Captured the whole disc of the Sun. Sunspots 1123, 1124, 1125 and a new one near the East limb were clearly visible. There were also a number of smaller spots visible along the line between 1123,1124 and 1125.
10mm EP 90X. 1125 the largest of the spots is kidney shaped surrounded by a lighter area. A series of small spots in a SW line towards 1123 near the middle of the Sun. The new spot (couldn't find it's number) just in from the SE limb.
Sunspot number 68 (Space Weather)
Compass points could but off so please set me straight.
