If you can, go out and look at the sun before it sets and the trick-or-treaters arrive. There is a remarkably large sunspot group visible right now, a terrific white-light target with lots of detail. I haven't yet looked in H-a, but the white light view itself is pretty darn good. I'm using an 80x400mm achromat with a 2" Lunt solar wedge, ND3 filter, and 2" variable polarizing filter along with various eyepieces.
This morning there was an impressive arch prominence that reminded me of Utah's Delicate Arch. The sunspots are in an impressive grouping. On Oct 31, 2015 3:59 PM, "Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
