My attempt at sunspots

I finally saw the sun for a while today and quickly set up.

The clouds were coming and going but I managed to get a clearish 30 seconds to capture the sunspots.

Thin cloud must have still been over the sun, coz it's racing across the suns image on the Avi video, but I stacked it anyway

ED80, focal reducer, Toucam normal mode. 200 frames stacked in Reggie.
Oh, and the IR filter is still in there

That effort probably heated the filter up?

Nah, too cold for anything to heat up

Got that image just in time. It is 100% cloud cover now!
