Solar White Light – April 2, 2017

Getting ready for the eclipse and testing one of the imaging setups today.  Took a single DSLR shot of a couple sunspots.  Sun spot 2648 is on the left, 2645 is the most prominent group closer to center, with 2644 on the right.

Sun Spot AR2529

While playing with the telescope setup this afternoon I thought I’d take a quick shot at the massive sunspot (AR2529) that everybody has been talking about lately.  I also grabbed a quick shot of sunspot AR2532 as well.
