Clouds and rain here. I got in early and was going through some photos of ol' Sol when I saw these from March 7, 2023. Ok, but today's only the sixth; how is that a year?
Well, this year was a leap year, so technically it's been 365 days...
The Sun in white light with my C80-HD, Baader 3.8 OD film, Solar Continuum filter and UV/IR cut filters shot with a Canon EOS 550D (T2i).
The "latest" spot on that image was AR3247. Today, AR3604 came around, so that been 357 new spots in a year. 8 short of one a day. You go, Solar Cycle 25!
That same night it was still clear, so I used the same setup minus the solar film and shot the full Moon. A Solar Continuum and UV/IR cut really work well with that.
Time for dinner; I wont bore you any longer
All the best,
