Solar Imaging with eats and friend
02 April 2013
02 April 2013
Another bright and sunny day brings out the C102mm Refractor and more solar imaging of sunspot #1711. While setting up at noon, musical pal Leo stops by and we share some eats while he plays tunes on my $14.00 CVS guitar that I keep in the van at all times....
After chow and while Leo plays me a set of Beatle tunes, I image today's solar disk...
...with sunspot #1711 riding strong and clear. And...I'm calling bthis the "Pansy flower Sunspot"...
Great details today, although the temps are cold (mid 30's) and breezy. With different White Balances and yellow filter, different aspects of the sunspot group come out...
I like this last one, as it brings it to a 3-D level...
... clearly displaying the separate sections that make up #1711.
More tomorrow...
