Sunspots! AR11024 in white light – 5th July 2009

Had a short half hour hole in the clouds at midday – just enough to catch the AR11024 sunspot group. This group is so large now that it only just fits inside the imaging chip on the DMK41 when using two stacked barlows for closeups. The seeing wasn’t great so this is just 140 frames stacked out of 1200. It’s a lovely group to look at with all of the pores between the two main spots…..Vixen 115/DMK41/Herschel Wedge
