Seeing was not near as good today as yesterday. We had a dust storm blow through last night (as evidenced by my clogged sinuses today). I could only shoot at F/26 and get decent but not great images of the two groups on the sun.

On another note, even though I am retired now, I am going back to work part time and won't be imaging the sun at least until Thursday morning.

Paul,

An interesting image of a smaller (compared to the infamous AR 652) sunspot group. The solar granulations are well resolved. I look forward to your future images.
