Hmm!

No need for apologies. I posted an article on this idea mid June on Astrophysics board: viewtopic.php?p=155979#p155979

FWIW I think it highly plausible.

I found that the additional cycles added a layer of plausibility, it also gave me pause to wonder just how sensitive this cycle is to outside interference.

Camera- ASi 174 mono no tilt required.

Lots of nighttime scopes and stuff but focus on the sun.

Since we are talking about plasma turbulence at the base of it all, I'd say pretty sensitive!

It seems to me that we come back to the question of what affects our sun.

This is galactic pull and outside influences of a massive nature that may be unseen. It is really difficult to pull information on anything that isn't internal physics.

I really appreciate your insight.

You're welcome. In any case, gravitational influences are unlikely from outside the solar system.

Good news then it should be fairly predictable in the respect of external influences. That just leaves the big engine.
