Made breakfast, got some solar time!

After cooking an omelette for my wife this morning, just because – just because I wanted to scope today - I scoped today!

My mission was to capture the Sunspots in AR 1041 in whitelight through my 8" - well I have nothing - no data worth even trying to process - the conditions were awful!

So the back up plan was to use 'ol faithful - SM40. Even though conditions were still poor the small scope is forgiving and I got some reasonable data.

AR 1041 is still looking good (I shot it yesterday too and there are quite a few subtle changes http://www.pbase.com/mattwastell/solar_2010) and the newer region 1041 is smaller but worth a look.

I hope you enjoy.
