June 15 Sunspots
Some clear morning hours on June 15 allowed another attempt at sunspot photography. A sunspot with double umbra had recently come into view near the solar limb due to the Sun's rotation. You can see it on the left in the image below, especially if you click to enlarge.
Although I had success with prime focus images, all my attempts at magnified eyepiece projection were fuzzy. Sunspots were focused in the camera's viewfinder, but camera vibration during shutter operation probably caused the blurring. I'll try again another day.

These pictures look cool to me - can't wait to see what you'll get with a specialized camera! I found your quote at the bottom - love it. You are a natural blogger. ;)
