Todays Sunspots!

The sun kept popping out between the clouds so I quickly grabbed some Sunspot images.

1. ED80, Toucam, Identiview Solar Filter, 2000 frames stacked.
2. Same gear but with a 2x Barlow.

Terrific pic Ken. I also had a look at these sunspots and tried a few handheld but compared to these, well, ho hum. (My one attached)

Great to see Harry too. Its good to be able to put a face to a name and he looks like he is having a great time.

Top stuff Ken!

I haven't had a chance to look today. I've been driving to Sydney and back, so I appreciate the pics!

Al.

Glad to help, Al.

It's a great looking string of spots.

And a bit of fun in PaintShop, I added my own Prominance from a blowtorch
