Rick,

There was no time between the exposures. I had the camera in continous
mode and the exposure for each image was 10000/1748251 seconds according
to the EXIF data on the original images. Once the 3 images were taken
they were written to the CF card.

Hi all,

Last week before So. Cal was overcome by fire and smoke I managed to
get
a few shots of the large sunspots that were visible at the time.

These were shot with my Meade ETX-105 an Orion 20mm Expanse eyepiece
and
my Casio Qv3500 ex digicam.

The solar filter was hommade using Baader solar film.

Here are two of the shots:



I also noticed in 3 of my closeup images that there was apparently an
object in transit across the face of the sun. I created an animated
GIF
of these three. If anyone can tell me what the object might be I'd
appreciate it.

The transit shot is he



Take a look and tell me what you think?

How long was it between each exposure? Could be a lot of things.

Hmmm the streak in that is well outside the solar disk. The one in my
image was towards the center. Since my .GIF is a zoom image of the large
sunspot.

Also the SOHO image was shot 3 days later. I doubt they were the same
object.
