Nice one Huoghy, we have no sun here today, drizzle on and off and lots of clouds.

I am afraid that photography through the PST is nearly imposible, hard to get focus and detail.

[atalas]

Yes dude your right ,take the filter off and adapt It to your SCT and bobs your uncle!

I wish i had an uncle bob who was smart enought to do that, I'm not

[iceman (Mike)]

h0ughy can I borrow your PST? I'll take some webcam pics through it.. show you it can be done

btw nice pic! Might have to get out the solar filter if these clouds ever go away.

[gbeal]

So thats what it looks like, man we haven't seen it for a while. In fact all we have had for the last few days is fog, just like the Saturday morning at Taupo (you know what I mean Pau?).

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

It's beautiful. As long as it only lasts a couple of hours

Hi Houghy

That is a very nice image indeed Mr. Houghy, considering your non-use of a telescope! You have captured the internal structure of these spots very nicely - I am impressed!

Cheers
