Solar Granules & Sunspots in White Light

Hi All

Having just got a new replacement lens cell for my ES 127mm CF refractor, I tried my first serious light white imaging with it.

Attached is an image showing a sunspot grouping surrounded by lovely granules. These granules are convective cells moving material upwards in the centres of the cells and downwards on the darker edges.

Image taken yesterday using a DMK23U274 camera and 3x barlow. Image can be accessed on my skydrive link here: Solar Granules Image

Thanks for looking.
Ted
