The Sun - 15-04-2012

Great to see all our friends at COSMOS 2012.
We had some fantastic solar obseeving during the day and deep sky/double star/planetary observing at night.

Below is an image of the Sun taken with the Coronado SM90 filter, DMK41 and TEC140 which I took this morning just before popping over to COSMOS.

I thought it was a bit chilly this morning. Now I know why.
