Today was a beautifully sunny day, and we have a solar filter for our new telescope. So we played with it again, after lunch
 |
| look at all those sunspots! no wonder there was a great aurora (even if we didn't see it) |
 |
| zoom x2, and the spots' penumbrae are more visible |
 |
| zoom x4, maximum zoom |
The main problem with all this that the day was so sunny and bright, it was next to impossible to see the phone screen, so it was hard to set things up, or see the results. But that's not an insurmountable issue: there are places in the shade.
So yes, we are very happy with our new toy!
