The Sun 25 Feb 2012 white light

Post by Bizibilder »

For the first time since I bought it, the Sun was "visible" to my 120APO in the observatory - so I took todays images with it (I normally use a 120mm Achromat). However it wasn't a fair test as out of 190 images taken only 61 were sufficiently "cloud free" for Registax to stack! By the time the clouds had cleared the Sun was barely above the neighbours rooftops.
So - a bit "rough and ready" but at least there was a break in the clouds!

Nice shot Biz! I've got full sun from 9.30-4.30 now apart from an hour in the aft when it goes behind a neighbours tree. Spring definitely felt like it was in the air today :)
