Hey friends,
here is a capture I made today of Sunspot AR2305 that has a beta-gamma configuration. Captured
with an Orion 80ED Short-tube refractor, 400mm FL f/5 with an Orion Safety film solar filter.
Captured at eyepiece projection using a VariMax camera extender and a 2-inch Meade QX 26mm eyepiece.
Canon 60Da, Bogen tripod, remote shutter and mirror lock-up.
clear skies!

Re: Sunspot AR2305 capture
Hey Ron, I too was out looking at this spot on Sunday. In moments of steady seeing it was beautiful through my refractor/Herschel wedge setup. Thanks for posting!

Re: Sunspot AR2305 capture
I like your AR2305 capture better then my own.
I need to go out and re-shoot another sunspot.
Well done and thanks for sharing!

Re: Sunspot AR2305 capture
ha I was about to say the same about your image. I actually really like your color filtering and that you were able to frame the whole sun in the image.
