Good pic Rick . Look foward to more

[Rick Petrie]

Thanks Derek. It took me quite a while to figure out which settings to use, but I guess that's the advantage of digital cameras, to be able to view as you go and discard the rubbishy ones.

Did you notice the small Sunspot about 5 O'Clock close the the edge of the disc ?
Keep 'em coming mate.
