Spotty lunchtime

First real chance to get a look at this sunspot head on. It's a beauty. I hear it flared yesterday and it's still very active!

Here are two shots. One at F25 and the other at F50 (which pushed the diminutive PST too far).

You're very considerate! A very tiny Earth indeed!

Seanie.

I saw this this morning in white light, it is large enough that I could see with it ease using my naked eye, through my mylar filter of course, and that gives an idea of the size of this thing.

Same here, both with the naked eye Baader sheet, and my welders glass.

Holy cow that must he HUGE!!
Trev, that view must be awsome.
Can you see any movement thru the scope?
Can you record a few sec of the action?

Those are incredible images Trevor! I hope people realise just how difficult it is to get images that good.

I've decided to just observe the Sun visuallly for the mo. Looked at it thought my double-stacked Maxscope 40 just now and the detail around the spot near the centre of the disc is incredible. :shock:
