20090630 Sun

I have waited for so long... finally got a short moment of clear sky! The sun looked featureless today, but on close up, we always have something. I told myself, there is no featureless sun indeed... :-)

Telescope: Tele Vue Ranger
Filter: Coronado Solarmax 40 with BF10
Camera: DMK 31AF03.AS
Mount: Meade LXD55
Barlows: Tele Vue 5x Powermate (for close up only)

1559 (GMT+8):-


1604 (GMT+8), close up with 5x barlows, I zoomed in only due to the filament, but I found it is indeed a tiny active area:-


So much fun!
