Quite a bit more sunspot activity since my last shot on the 6th October (I count 6 groups). Sunspots are slightly cooler than the surrounding 'photosphere' and are related to magnetic anomalies in the Suns plasma structure. Captured with BackyardEOS 1X Planetary mode - 500 frames @ ISO200 at 1/30 sec Processed with Registax 6 with best 20% stacked, no wavelet processing. Further processed with Adobe Photoshop CS5. Telescope - Apogee OrthoStar LOMO 80/480 with Hotech SCA Field Flattener, Home made Baader AstroSolar Photo Film Solar filter, Canon 40D DSLR field 106' x 159' , Ambient 19C. EQMOD EQASCOM with Ascom 6 for mount control. Backyard EOS 2.09 for Image acquisition. Mount - Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro. No Guidescope used.
