Odd Big yellow ball...

[jgs001]

Wasn't sure what it was.. so to prove it was there, I grabbed a shot ...

single frame, C80ED, 2xTC, 35mm of cheapy macro tubes, 450d on a camera tripod. No cropping.

Sunspots AR1150, 51, 54, 56, 57, 58 and 59

Super shot - I saw that yellow ball too yesterday morning!

Thanks Smerral, hope to see it again some time soon... it deserves more investigation

I love the Yellow Ball!

very nice capture I haven't seen the sun for a few days

Congrats on the PoW mention, but this Big Yellow Ball is a bit useless in my opinion. At least the moon lights up the night, the BYB is only there in the day

I have been lucky enough to see the BYB once or twice in my lifetime though, for apparitions of up to a minute

Sarcasm aside, the sunspots really stand out on this image and so do the granular patterns!
