Subject: Easter Sunday brings "SPOTS"
Hello everyone, hope each and every one of you had a very nice Easter.
As for myself, my Easter will not arrive for another month (Russian
Orthadox).
However, I had a pleasant day with the "SPOTS". That is, I set up my
10" Mead, added the solar filter, brought out the laptop, ccd (old one)
and attempted to take photo's of the SUN. TOO BRIGHT! So I went back
to basics. I found three LARGE Sunspots grouped together, along with
one small sunspot. And just southwest of these was a group of three or
four smaller sunspots. Having film in my 35mm, I proceeded to take
some 15 "shots of the spots", while enjoying the lovely weather (the
calm before the storm).
That's it for now, so see you at the meeting (enjoy the snow
tomorrow!!)
