Default Sol with AR10960

Dear group,

Finally there is some activity on Sol. Just coming around into view is
the sunspot group AR10960 which has generated a fairly impressive
gravitational field and there is concern for sizeable X-class flares.

For an image taken a few hours ago through clouds, I kindly direct you
to http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Solar-Su...2007-06-03.htm .

I tried using my Baader Solar Continuum Filter but I could not focus
which perhaps (?) may have been due to the clouds. I will have to wait
for another opportunity with much better transparency.

Clear skies.

Anthony.
