Description

This is another example of the new folded refractor. I have posted some still images. This is a four-hour animation of one active region. Notice that the Sun's rim seems to be moving away from the sunspot. This effect is a result of aligning all the frames with the sunspot, not the rim. And of course the sun rotated during the period of the exposures. Had I aligned with the solar rim, the sunspot would be moving accross the surface.
