 Yeah, I saw on tonight's news some auroras that were seen 100 miles south 
of where I live, which is usually too far north for that kind of thing.  I'm a little 
annoyed at having missed them; I'd love to see an aurora.

 The night-time view from the [ant]arctic must be incredible right now.

Cheers,

Large Sunspot visible (USE SOLAR FILTER)

2001-03-30 Thread rob





Hi,


If you have a SOLAR FILTER check out the Sun it has a massive sunspot visible.


I put a SOLAR FILTER and A2x-S on my F*300/4.5 and finished off a roll of
Gold 200 in a MX-5n.  Used various exposure compensations so may be okay.

Will try and find someone to scan results if any good the will post them
on my simple web page.

HUGE SUNSPOT: The largest sunspot in ten years is crossing the 
solar disk. The fast-growing spot, called AR9393, covers an area 
of the Sun equivalent to the total surface area of 13 Earths!

in history AND HOW TO SAFELY OBSERVE IT.
