Using a filter made from a piece of Baader Astrosolar Safety Film, I had a look at the sun earlier. Not a great many spots to look at, and the seeing was very swimmy, but here is the largest group of spots apparent on the disc.


Question: has anyone got any tips for focussing? it's a little different to night time astrophotography :smile:

Ian,
This is where the flower pot saucer and three holes comes into it's own. Show you the weekend after next
