Solar Minimum comparison

[NiCo10]

Managed to get some solar observing in this week, trying to get back into it after quite a break. Having been away some time I'm definitely out of practice., so I'm trying to record my amateur attempts and publicly shame myself on YouTube so I can learn from them as I go along.

Also need a tracking mount, its hard trying to do manually and focus at the same time. I'm in absolute awe of some of the stuff you lot produce, absolutely fantastic. This footage was from Wednesday 15th April 2020, very different compared to April 2014.

I was looking some of my older images today as well. Massive Proms, Filaments, Spots, today's A/R would have been barely worth a mention back then 🙂
