It's Looking a Little Spotty Up There...

...if you got the means to view the sun, now is a good time. There's been dozens of spots for days now. White light viewing is cool, and I can only imagine what's going on in Ha. The image gives you an idea, but hardly does justice to the view through the eyepiece:

Great images, Mike. I had a chance to look today in the eyepiece, but the seeing was not as good as yours was yesterday apparently. But it was interesting to see all those spots!

Thanks Andy! Yes, the daytime seeing has been atrocious lately. Well, I guess the daytime seeing is usually atrocious anyway. :lol: I can't remember the last time I've been able to use over 50/60x on the sun with any decent resolution. I still enjoy it though.
