Nice one Mac!

Which camera did you use and what are the exposure details etc?

You just need to wait for a few more sunspots now.

Mark,

It's quite quiet at the moment, I was looking at the sun today and that ickle spot is quite nice, but the rest of the sun was bland ish.

Well done Mac.

The camera was the SXVR-H9, might have a go with the D3 later,
exposure was 3/1000 sec even with the Baader Filter and the Ha filter.

There is also one sunspot just leaving the limb as well, about 5 o clock.
Couldnt determine if it was in focus as the scintilation was very bad, as you would expect.
