Sunspots on SKY Sport Cricket

Today's Test Match play in Pakistan ended, due to poor light, with this shot of the setting sun.

The TV cameras often have Canon lenses with enormous zoom ratios:

Michael, I saw this and noticed the sunspots on the setting sun.

 

By the way, it didn't finish because of bad light, but because England bowled Pakistan out and won the test!

So they must have been prepared and  had a solar filter I guess? We often have big broadcast box lenses at work- very tempting to rig up an ep and try one on 🌙

My bad, we were away for the weekend so had only got to day 2 in the recordings when I posted.

I don't believe they had a solar filter, just attenuated enough at sunset to give a good exposure when stopped down.

Oops, sorry Michael. I didn't mean to spoil you watching the end of the test by telling you the final score 🫢.

Hi Paul

Not spoiled, we're onto Day 4 now, but the cat was already out of the bag.
