Although it is a period of minimum Sunspot activity the occasional one appears.
It was a bit difficult trying to photograph the Sun with the amount of patchy cloud yesterday.
Sunspot AR2738 is just coming in to view.
It may not look much but is said to be larger than planet Earth.
,Gentle reminder -
do not look directly, or point your camera, at the Sun unless you have a suitable solar filter.
I wrote about the one I use HERE.
Good job I don't take these as I would mistake it for crap on the sensor and clone it out. Grand shot.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: It took me a while to be sure it was a Sunspot. Hope to get a better view in a few days time.
DeleteGood shots and an interesting piece about the filter. I like the colour it gives the sun, appropriate.
ReplyDeleteDave: Thank you. Different types of solar filter give different colours depending which wavelength of light they let through. I like the red / orange results from this one.
DeleteIncredible stuff
ReplyDeleteSimon: Thanks. I find the activity on the Sun fascinating.
