Purpose:
Observations of large sunspots
Location:
San Diego County
Time:
26 OCT 2003.
Summary:
Intense brush fire activity in San Diego County might have messed up nighttime
observing, but direct observing of the Sun without filters was possible through
the thick smoke.*
Best results:
Canon Goto Camera images: All images are oriented correct to normal view, and with level horizon line.
Sunspot groups 10484 and 10486. Active Area 10484 has rotated toward the right side, and even bigger group 486 is entering the picture. No filtration.
