The Sun 4 April 2020 White Light

Post by Bizibilder »

First Sun image for nearly a year due to there being very little to see - the spot count has only increased by 19 since my last image in may 2019 and most of those were tiny and short lived.

Not a lot of spots to observe in white light "lately" indeed. It can only get better :)

Yes, white light has been meager lately. Most of the time nothing. My 8x32 Lunt SUNoculars have been almost useless lately. But an observation is an observation, spots or no spots.
