sun 9-24-23
very nice day . 24 degrees no wind, a few scattered clouds.
there is a very big difference with the 125 compared to the 85.
I used a Svbony 7-21 zoom, I played between 21 and 12 mm.
my APM Herschel wedge is very efficient.
several groups of spots and solitary spots are part of this solar spectacle.
I hope you will like it . thx.

thank you my friend .Thefatkitty wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 1:12 am Une tres bon dessin mon ami! Your 125mm and wedge are a good combination with that eyepiece it seems.
Maybe not a "photo", but for me this ranks as an APOD. A quality sketch is as good and requires more effort, at least for me. And being a fellow solarhead, I'm partial to the fine details as well
Merci pour ca, Jean-Yves!
It’s very flattering.
I don't know if it's worth an
time .
but I find it very nice of you.
thx Mark

Re: sun 9-24-23
I do have a sketching suggestion though. You might consider to purchase a sketching -bloc at an art-supply shop.
Starting on a real blank sheet of paper is preferable to a translucent form, like you do now. Does more credit to your work!!
You can attach the sketch to your observing form.

Commonly used bino's : *Jena 10X50 , * Canon 10X30 IS, *Swarovski Habicht 7X42, * Celestron 15X70, *Kasai 2.3X40
