Sun day

What a rare November treat in Buffalo - three sessions with my telescope in 24 hours -
Saturn in the morning, the sun for lunch and an evening look at mars.

By some odd stroke of luck the sun transited right in the middle of the
electrical wires in my backyard - unobstructed and quite steady in the eyepiece given
the low elevation.

Here is a quick look at active region 822 through my 5" refractor and 90mm H-Alpha filter.
