Got my PST back from Meade, looking forward to bad weather on the sun again.

Cheers

Thanks for the link Ray, very interesting.

I think it is time to invest in a solar scope soon.

Hi all
I am very much looking forward to solar max.
At the moment there is very little activity and I am itching to do a lot more imaging.
One event in particular is the next transit of Venus (across the face of the Sun). This happens in 2012 and solar activity will be on the increase. It would be great to see and image this with a backdrop of significant solar activity.

Come on Sunny, give us some Sunspots!
