Sunspot 930 and friends

[stephenmcnelley]

This attempt was afocally imaged with a Fuji 5.1Mp finepix through a Baader sloar filtered 20cm Dob at 1pm AEST.

Not of great calibre and had to be edited through Force Vision and Acdsee, i overcooked it a bit but it'll do for now.

At least the cloud cleared for a moment today and was able to have a go and get something :)


PS-Sorry moonshine i must have been replacing the image.

Nice one Stephen - looks a very interesting series of spots, thanks for posting the image. Hopefully I'll get some clear skies before these disappear.

Cheers

Nice shot!

Just managed to have a look at it this arvo... the 2 big spots are easily seen in the PST, with a hint of the smaller ones, great plague detail around the area.
