Bino solar

[Size9Hex]

Wowzers!

Just had the little 72mm out before the sun dipped below the rooftops. First daylight outing for the binoviewer, which slotted nicely into the Lunt wedge.

Two cheap as chips stock Skywatcher 25mm Super MA eyepieces, giving about 50x in the bino with the 2.6x corrector, with the combo easily beating a more exotic eyepiece in cyclops mode.

Bags of contrast and texture all across the solar surface, only intermittently glimpsed in mono. There’s a big juicy spot out there too at the mo. Subtle shading on the edge of the penumbra. Three tiny pores detected too. Really impressed with the bino on solar!

Bino or not though, it’s good to see some solar action in white light after so long. Worth a look if you can.

Way to go, Paul! Way to go! ??

Nice one Paul. I love White Light solar when there is some activity present! Just managed a quick peek with 50mm spotter and Baader film even with that the spot looked good!
