Sunspot 904

Recommended Posts

Set my stuff up this afternoon ready for tonight (fingers crossed).

Whilst I had the 8"reflector on the EQ5 mount, I decided to fit some

Baader solar film to a hole cut in the scopes dust shield.

Got this of sunspot 904 using Toucam SC1.5, 20 frames Registax

Overcooked it a bit, the computer screen was very difficult to see in the sunlight.

Thanks James.

Just going out to try for a better one.

Very surprised at the extra resolution of my 200mm compared to

what I can get from my 130mm reflector on these spots.

Good idea on the cover for the lappy...

nice bit of mahogany with mother of pearl banding... :laugh::wink:
