SUN
28th May 2006
At last some sun spots were on view and these are some of the best solar shots i have taken.
Using the Orion 80ED and Baader solar film i stopped down the scope to approximatly 50mm apature as i didnt have enough solar film left.
Some regions of faculae were also on view, which for the first time i managed to view. These are interesting areas and the image was very sharp.
The image above was taking with my Canon EOS 350D and shows the full solar disk. Click the image for the larger, more detailed version.

The sunspots on view were very small in terms of the sun, but they are the size of the Earth in reality. |

I really like this image as it shows the faculae well. This sunspot region was very small |

The image above is very interesting as you can just make out sunspot 888 on the limb of the sun. Faculae is to the top right. |
