Day off
I've taken the 6th off and will be watching from (at this stage) 60% sunny Perth thru the 5cm apeture hole in my 16" dob. Just glued my film over the inside of the mirror cover and plan to observe the sun frequently from now on. Seems silly doesn't it? All that apeture masked off...
I tested the film last weekend and observed the excellent grouping of sunspots in 13mm and 9mm, though at 9mm the view had definitely softened. Its amazing how much the sun disturbs the air!
