AR2715 this afternoon

[Red Dwarfer]

Just been having a look at Sunspot AR2715 this afternoon ... equipment is ED80 , Baader filter and ES 8.8/82 ... I usually observe from indoors through a skylight double glazed window with a smaller 400mm ST80 , so wanted to try the longer reach of the ED80 600mm and see if being outdoors might give better results - in short , it did ... a lot more clearer dots giving a distinctive V formation resembling the Wild Duck cluster .

PS , had to borrow my nieces teddy to stand in as a “ stunt double “ as I was taking the pics ...
