Hi Bruce,

I started with Sun photography end of 2007 / beginning 2008 (10 years ago ant he sun looked like this ... and I did the photography through the window of my dining room :-) I think I started during the Solar minimum of Solar cycle 24 and have followed it all these years

Look at the images below

Hi Rainer...

I am impressed that the images came out so well through the window glass

Fabulous FDs, Rainer. A few years of minimal activity to come before we get back to more active times. A nice reminder of what we can look forward to.

Well, time goes by quickly, so hope we can be here to see some great solar action again.
Thanks for the memorabilia shown.

Me too but I guess that such a narrow bandwidth of maybe 0.7 to 0.5 angstrom does not get disturbed by glass ...

I am not an expert but I have seen no difference at open air or behind glass
