Had a look at this with a JBM solar filter this morning, very nice sunspot.
Must be huge, it has taken on a Y shape, very unusual, lots of structure & contrast.
Sunspots are always so different.
Had a go at doing some Afocal photography.
Dient work with the basic point & shoot digital, came out over exposed.
One of our club members is doing some shoots with the LPI at prime focus, as I write.
I will encourage him to post here if successful.
So much happening, action on the sun.
Humans invading the outer solar system.
This is truely a great time in history to be involved in astronomy
