sunspots 3 feb 2007 - 0940 and 0941

Nice image.

I had a look at those spots around ten this morning and they were pretty impressive, I had the feeling that a pair of eyes were staring back at me :shock: .

Good work

Hi Carl,

Neither, The Nexstar 4 has a flip-mirror.

So I used a T-adapter and T-ring to connect the camera directly to the back of the scope.

Nice, makes me wish I had a solar telescope

Bart, get you hands on some baader film and make some filters for your binoculars.

Good point! I really should do that.

Bart.

Bart, if you have a SLR camera ou can also make a filter for the camera.
The Sun is close enough to get nice shots with a SLR without telescope attached.

Just had a look at those spots with a 70mm skylux. They sure make a pretty sight. I also had a look in the 10X50's and despite the fact that I can see more in the scope, I nearly prefer the view in the binoculars.

Nice image Inge. It's hard to get such detail with an SLR because of seeing.

You've reminded me how much I love viewing the Sun, alas my scope is gone back to the factory for repair

It's amazing how much the Sun changes day by day!

I got a few odd looks from the neighbours until they had a look

I can relate to that. People pointing at the crazy guy in the garden staring straight at the Sun with cables, PC, etc. My neighbours are getting used to my odd behavious now
