I'm with you David, haven't had a chance due to the clouds. But i'm hoping there might be a bit of sunshine over the weekend to get the ToUcam + digicam onto it.

There's some nice activity, for a solar minimum..

I've been following the progress of these sunspots ...it's great to see a bunch of them.Or is that a gaggle of sunspots..?
Shot today at 4pm with the Nikon D100, 400sec exp @ 200iso.A Kendrick full aperture solar filter using Baader solar film was fitted to the front of the LX200http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...eade/sunAB.jpg

Had a look at these sunspots today myself (With the safe solar scope)
Amazing how active our sun is, this late in the solar cycle
