Yesterday when I visited the website of aac Eta Carinae, I immediately noticed the visibility of 2 large sunspots in the SOHO-image on this website. Yesterday I didn't find the time to carry the telescope outside, but today at the end of the afternoon I was able to do that. The ETX-125 with solar filter pointed at the sun showed a very nice group of large sunspots. After quickly connecting the Nikon D90 to the telescope I was able to take some shots. The best image has been processed in Adobe Photoshop and is shown below.Zonnevlekken 26 maart 2010
