Another good show as the solar cycle wanes. Today I had a chance to check out this still-enlarging spot in Ha and white light--both through my C102 and Thousand Oaks filter and unmagnified also through a Thousand Oaks filter (they have them that come in little cards that you just hold up--very nice for passing around if you're doing a sun-viewing party, BTW--much easier than the pseudo-glasses kind). It seems to me that the main spot is less circular than it was this morning and a bit harder to see w/o magnification, but still definitely there. In Ha, the area around it continues to show signs of a lot of twisting and tangling in the magnetic field and was interesting to see at a pretty wide range of etalon tuning settings. In white light, you can see more detail in the shape of the sunspot and the penumbra has a lot of texture to it (the highest power I tried on it was ~130x--lot of heat waves at this time of day). So, regardless of what kind of solar gear you have, it's definitely worth a look; who knows when we'll get another one this interesting. If you don't have any gear, try projection! (I've taken some pictures with my rather lame, hold-the-camera-up-to-the-eyepiece method, if they're reasonable--gotta do some work before having a good look, I'll post links to them.) Fun stuff! John
