Sunspots from today - Tue 18th Oct

Hi all,

I've been having a lot more fun than expected using my (literally) shiny new Thousand Oaks white light solar filter - with a bit of duct taping, it works great on my 132 mm and 80 mm refractors, as well as SLR lenses.

This one from today was using my Canon 5DmkII on a tripod, prime focus through the Orion ST80 (normally used for auto guiding), and solar filter.

With the amount of sunspot activity going on, I've decided to try and take pictures every two days... we'll see how that goes.


Cheers,

Dave
