A few recent solar sketches

Your outnmbered so Jeff! I think maybe if you have them linked to a location on your own computer, then you will be the only person who will see them. Did you upload them to the web somewhere and link from there?

Seanie.

Another vote for the no sketch team.

Speaking of solar observing, in white light the sun is absolutely dead, there isn't a hint of detail and I haven't seen any activity in some time.

Looking at a blank sun gets pretty boring after a while.

I agree Paul. I too am a white light filter user, and I like it when there are spots to see travel across the disk on consecutive sunny days. I'd sketch them and keep a record like that. Though now, I have the ability to take DSLR shots with the Skylux, I hope to mimic it sometime (soon) and do little movies with them.

I'm not holding my breath though.

Hmmm....

Here are the URLs copied out of the post:

Let me know if you can get to these directly....

The images are larger than the size that you can post on this site (they're between 81K and 96K). Perhaps the forum is set up to not display larger images even when hosted off-site? If so, that's a shame....

... that last part doesn't make sense because it's displaying them on my machine....

OK, I'm stumped.

I can see them now Jeff - and they're excellent!
