Hi all,

Finally, at least for a day or two the blank sun has a blemish!! It is as yet un-numbered so I can only call it "group" for now. Shot with my TOA-130 and Baader Herschel wedge. Seeing conditions were not very good.

Very neat image Paul!

Let's hope this time the sun means business wink even though today I was reading in the Italian solar discussion group that it already diminished in size and activity sad

Here the clouds moved but not completely yet a few hours ago and, needless to say, I was sitting at my desk sad .

I keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

Ciao Paul

Great image. Sure is good to hear of some sun spot activity. I will have to get a new filter/wedge.
