Sun Spots

Hi IIS:

I've got a new filter holder, I made myself. And now it's safer and I can focus with both hands, the solar image.

I was wondering, even though the shutter speed is 1/4000 sec, that since it's at the ecliptic and it's magnified, if that's what is causing the spots to look blurry of if it's mostly a focusing problem.

On that subject I remember a book called: the FX system of exposure determination, where they give an equation that expresses the length of time in seconds at an object of declination using a certain focal length lens will make a trail of so many mm on the film/sensor. That could be useful too.

Happy Holiday Seasons.
David
