Default Solar activity alert

Been playing can and mouse with the Sun/clouds this morning. There are
a couple of nice proms on there for all you PST users to drool over.
Here's a quick grab that doesn't do them justice at all...

Hi Pete

I gather that your Canon costs a lot of money..... like over £1,000.
I have not been able to focus my PST with a webcam, so I fitted a 2x
Barlow but still it will not work. So how do others do this......?

Maybe yes, maybe no ;-)

Remove the extension piece below the blocking filter. Careful though -
it's Locktite'd in and will invalidate your warranty if you remove it.

Page has now been updated with some webcam shots...

I can view your site using Firefox but the links on the left are missing
when using Safari?

The solution to this is to use Firefox Gareth ;-)

I'm aware of the Safari problem and will get around to it eventually.
