Sunspot - 02 May 2007

Date: 02 May 2007 U.T.
Time: 16:40 - 17:00 U.T.
Telescope: 102mm SCT
Magnifications: 70x and 90x
Filter: Baader, Objective Solar Filter
Seeing: Fair
Transparency: Thin Clouds
Temperature: +76 F (+24 C)

The above sketch shows the same sunspot as the previous three sunspot sketches. North is up; and preceding is to the left in this mirror-reversed view.

The thin clouds were too thin to be noticed through the telescope as silhouetted forms against the bright sun.

Wonderful sketches. I didn't realize they weren't photographs until I read the text around them. Nicely done.
