Great shot Ryan. Yeah, what is your filter. I am using a C8, mylar filter and my images are blue. Beside the point, but a problem for me is when taking a picture of the sun straight through the C8 the solar image is larger than the "film" frame. The camera is a Canon Rebel Digital, one of the first models (2004). When using eyepiece projection, the image is substantially larger (of course so are the sunspots hehehe). Some on this board might remember the sunspot pictures I posted about 6 months ago. This is the link to those photos http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2017489238916.95706.1294436682&typ… I got some good pictures of sunspot group 1479 yesterday, but was n ot satisfied with the soft detail. There was a *@* cloud in the way, the only *@* cloud in the sky, right between me and the sun. It wouldn't move for over an hour grrrr. Then I couldn't focus a 17mm plossl in eyepiece projection, spent about 30 minutes on that. Will try today to improve and post.

Same equipment as yesterday - 80 mm Lumicon Superfinder, 2.4X Barlow, Nikon D80 camera 1/4000 sec at ISO 200 with double aluminized glass solar filter. Today's image has only about 1/4 as much sharpening in Photoshop. This is now approaching (but only approaching) Joe's photo. I think this will have to do for the eclipse. >> >> http://s1138.photobucket.com/albums/n534/brentjwatson/Solar%20Eclipse/?acti… >> _______________________________________________ >> Utah-Astronomy mailing list >> http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy >> >> Send messages to the list to >> Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com >> >> The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club. >> >> To unsubscribe go to: >> http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy >> Then enter your email address in the space provided and click on "Unsubscribe or edit options". > > >_______________________________________________ >Utah-Astronomy mailing list >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy > >Send messages to the list to >Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com > >The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club. > >To unsubscribe go to: >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy >Then enter your email address in the space provided and click on "Unsubscribe or edit options".

OK, Steve, let’s try this, again. This from a guy who can, barely, operate a TV remote. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/sets/72157629982460343/ Dave

Was it Dave Bernson commenting? :)

I have to wonder if our very own Dave Bernson was the person commenting on this story using the pseudonym "night_beacon". After all Dave has made many mentions of the mother ship. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54027686-78/eclipse-view-moon-utah.html.c… Grins, patrick

today's sunspots
by Joe Bauman 06 May '12

A pic I took this afternoon from the backyard, showing the sunspots that Deloy pointed out. I rotated the image 90 degrees to the left to make it jibe with the NASA one that Deloy showed us. It was with a solar filter designed for binoculars over my 400 mm. telephoto lens. The pic was with ISO200, shutter speed 1/1600 second, f/11. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4951&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 -- Thanks, Joe

Hope this link works: https://www.me.com/gallery/#100010/DSCN2462 I went out and took some pictures after I saw Deloy’s post. They’re not great, but I’m a rookie. If the link doesn’t work, tell me and I’ll try to fix it. I’m a rookie at this photo gallery stuff, too. Dave
