Four sunspots!

[Specman]

Hi,

Had some great views of the sun this afternoon whilst trying out and testing some new equipment.

Using my new Canon 1000D, shooting through the NexStar 4SE using a Baader solar filter I got some great solar images

This was a joint effort between myself and fellow SGL member Michael (msinclairinork).

I have enhanced the image slightly and mirror flipped it for correct orientation. Four sunspots are clearly visible, hopefully not too much detail has been lost in resizing.

Anyways, I'm one happy bunny right now!
