Summary:
On eye-viewing, the sun appeared to have no obvious features. The photo taken below has a tiny prominence.
Photos were taken with the Skyris camera and the best images processed in Autostakkert, Registax, Photoshop, and PowerPoint to colorize and bring out contrast. The results are attached.
Objects Viewed: Sun
Problems Encountered:
There was a light drizzle despite the sun being out among the clouds, so I waited 10-15 minutes before it stopped before taking the blanket off the telescope.
