Well, not tanned, but I did get the filter in place today and observed. And, as I thought - not a single little sunspot in sight!! Lovely view of the sun's disc, however. I'm happy with that. I did push up the magnification, but from the way the limb was shimmering, I suspect seeing was not good enough to see any surface granulation. I suspect that will be a challenge most of the time?
Actually, the best view I had was in the first few seconds I looked. Through my 26mm eyepiece, a bird flew in front of the sun and seemed to hang for a few seconds on the sun's image. A glorious silhouette! A good omen?
Come on sunspots, Mercury, Venus - do your stuff! I'm ready.
