Sunspots

Earlier this week (Monday, April 27) my husband set up his telescope to try out a recently purchased solar filter. As we looked through the eyepiece, two areas of sunspots were readily apparent (areas A and D in the diagram above.

We managed to line up my camera with the telescopes eyepiece to capture the picture and I was able to see two more sunspot areas (B and C) when I looked as the image on my computer. Pretty good for a first look with the solar filter!
