dhkaiser Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Actually that would be the SE limb. But yes a really nice sunspot group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vineyard Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Huh, I thought refractors did L-R inversion so while yes it looks like the SE limb, it means its the SW? (GONG also shows it as SW)? And of course now the clouds have come in...argh. Enjoy them across the pond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhkaiser Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Gong is orientated N up E left. Download Tilting Sun and it will show proper directions for your telescope, mount and date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vineyard Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Thanks @dhkaiser - I didn't know that about GONG and hadn't heard about Tilting Sun: will check it out! Cheers & stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
