Large sunspot on July 2

Post by gabrieli »

Conditions worsened today compared to the previous few sessions but solar features merited a short session.
The setup was the same as my previous posts:

Baader 3.8 solar film up front + 180mm Mak + 12 nm Sulphur II filter (passes 671.7nm and 673 nm) + 1.5X APM telecentric + Chameleon 3
