Todays Sunspots!

[ballaratdragons]

The sun kept popping out between the clouds so I quickly grabbed some Sunspot images.

1. ED80, Toucam, Identiview Solar Filter, 2000 frames stacked.
2. Same gear but with a 2x Barlow.

Terrific pic Ken. I also had a look at these sunspots and tried a few handheld but compared to these, well, ho hum. (My one attached)

Great to see Harry too. Its good to be able to put a face to a name and he looks like he is having a great time. :thumbsup:

That's hand held!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eyepop:

Your Large spot looks clearer than mine :thumbsup:

Yeah, Harry is 'Little Dragon' in here. Him and his brother Jake follow me around like flies when I'm doing Astro stuff! Grand ain't it :)

Top stuff Ken!

I haven't had a chance to look today. I've been driving to Sydney and back, so I appreciate the pics!

Glad to help, Al.

It's a great looking string of spots.

And a bit of fun in PaintShop, I added my own Prominance from a blowtorch :lol:
