Hi,All
Thanks Davegn for posting the photos.The sun not really showing these days.Lack of flares etc.More
spotted sometimes however;like in the beginning of this month,almost the WHOLE sun spotted.In fact
,cycle 24 is now in its 4th year and in my personal opinion,the best show happens during the first
minicycle--i.e. during the 1st 6 month of 2010.Anyway still hoping for that big show during the solar max
with X class flare,hugh prominences etc.These photos shows the 2 most active spots at the beginning
of the 6th minicycle.Thanks for watching.

Hi all,

Viewing condition was still hazy and clouds came in and out.

Nevertheless, i have try taking an image of the sun.



Image of the sun taken late this morning with a cannon G1X projected via a LS35Tha.

Visually, the sun looks more impressive then in the photos i have took,
was able to see more prominences and a few filaments. (=

will try to get a better images when the sky clears

Clear skies on Thursday afternoon. Did a short solar-ing session on my balcony.


My first try at shooting the sun. Shot using an iPhone 4S projected from an Orion ST80 and Thousand Oaks Type 2 filter.

Thanks for looking.
