Sun in Oct 12

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Hi Gary - thanks for the encouraging words.

Hi Remus - Yes, it was largely clear skies. Was under the Sun for 1hr 45 minutes. Have taken video to do time lapse clip. Just feeling lazy to do it now.

26 Oct 12 - There were gaps of clear skies in the morning. The sunspot of interest was 1598 (the inner sunspot at 4 O'clock position). Throughout the week it had potential for M and X-Class flares. It is now decaying.

Here is the full disk at 11:18 AM
