Yo Chuck, where is MY solar scope :) I got the bucks :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 8:34:08 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Giant Sun Spots I watched the sun rise this morning through my 50mm f/9 solar scope (Baader filter). Incredible. I took this photo through the scope with my cell phone camera, hand-held, set on 8X (on top of the 16X of the scope itself), so the resolution, contrast, and focus isn't great, but you can clearly see sunspot groups. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/SunspotsSept292011.jp... The largest was easily visible without magnification, through the Badder filter only. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php
