Solar EAA 24th March 2024
I had forgotten how the 4se chews through batteries! Pointed the scope South, and started to slew towards the Sun to perform an alignment and the scope ground to a halt! So, switched to a 12v power supply and recycled the batteries
Wow! Sunspot 3615 was huge and complex! Had a great time observing the Sun for about an hour. Had to wait now and again for those pesky clouds to float on through. The full-disk image has been de-dust-moted but the cropped image of sunspot 3615 is straight from SharpCap's live stacking, complete with dust-mote! Not sure about my choice of colouring (magnolia).
Have fun.
