Sunspots 11/26 and 11/27

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all!

Seems like it's been forever since I've posted anything. Actually I have been quite busy with the telescopes, but also busy elsewhere. Funny thing is that it is easier to image objects than to reduce the raw image to final products. I got images of the sun on November 26 and 27. I also have images from November 25, but the time data is at home. I'll post that image later today or tomorrow.

Oh yeah....if you want a little entertainment, click on my "Little Ray of SunShine" link. smile

Jupiter and the Sun 12/02/04

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all,

Here are some images I made of the Sun and Jupiter on Dec 2, 2004. Jupiter is gradually getting better....hoping for much better images in the next months. The sun is nice, but the spots are only "average" sized.

It's been raining here all day...thought I loved in a desert!! Oh well..... smile

Hi all,

Eric,

Fabulous image!! What were your camera settings for that image and what setup did you use to get F/35? Drooling!!
