HI folks,
Well I finally made the decision to splurge a little, so I bought a Glass solar filter for my 6 inch refractor, its not the full 6 inches, since I have a smaller 4 inch cap, that fits on my 6 inch cap, to use as an aperture stop, so I purchased the 4.25 #2 Thousand Oaks glass solar filter and, guess what happened?
I used it yesterday And I couldnt believe my eyes!
Murphy's Law reared its ugly head again, there were no spots to be seen all day long.
there was only one tiny speck near the limb it was so small it took quite a while to notice it.
I know that we are at a supposed solar minimum but I was at least expecting to see one or two spots.
oh well, at least now I have something to image during the day when the nights are washed out by the Moon, now if I can only get the Sun to cooperate and show some spots, I would be very happy.
Dennis
