18th July Sunspots

Post by JohnW »

The weather was cold (10*C) and cloudy again today 18th July. I managed a gap in the clouds for a quick snap of the sunspots. I have included a pic from 14th July as well to compare the movement over this 4 day period. Both single exposures with canon 550d, herschel wedge and WO 81 mm scope.
AR 3055 has just about gone from view in the west. Thanks for viewing.

Your Canon 550D reminds me of my Point Grey Grasshopper. It gets about the same solar coverage. Not quite a whole disc but almost.

Nice images John.

Thank you everybody for your comments. It has been interesting to follow the progress of these sunspot groups over the last week. Cheers John W.
