Sungazing! Linda and I treat ourselves.

Today our latest extravagance arrived: a Coronado H-α solar telescope. This clever device enables you to look directly at the Sun - great for eclipses, transits, sunspots, filaments and prominences. Of these, only a very wispy example of the latter was available today 😕

However, the Sun is moving away from a solar minimum, so fingers crossed for some activity in the near future.
