Description

Back to Solar Photography this morning as the weather was perfect with a slight breeze from the west. There were a few nice proms and sunspots to photograph so I tinkered with the etalons and settings once again to see what I could get.

Sunshield Update:  My sunshield broke apart this week under the stress of heavy rain. Unfortunately, I had used PVC that was too small and secured the tarp to the frame that puddled rain and the weight of the build-up collapsed the structure. Not to be deterred by failure, I built my 3rd sunshield yesterday out of 2x4s this time and purchased a heavier 16 mil reflective 8x10 tarp. Wind shouldn't be an issue as this 5x5x5 frame is quite heavy and from now on I will just throw the tarp over the top when in use without securing it to the frame. All it needs now is a second coat of paint to protect it from the elements.
See revision D.

Thanks, Eddie
