January 31 2007 - Sun Spots

The following are pictures of the sun taken with my old Canon G3 digital camera and my 5" MCT and 40mm plossal EP. The wide angle (entire solar disk) is taken at 0 zoom, the middle one is taken at 4X zoom and the third is taken with the 40mm plossal and a 2X barlow lens at 4X zoom. The fourth picture is just a comparison of what processing can do! Please click on photos to see larger version.
