8 years and 1000 Sunspots later



This week a new Sunspot with number AR3040 was observed. No big thing, but for me it was. Going back in time to april 16, 2014, I made my first picture of Sunspots. That day the Sun was covered with 9 sunspot groups (AR2032 - 2040). The picture was made using my Nikon D60 camera and Dobson OrionXT12.

8 years later and 1000 sunspots later I'm still fascinated by Sunspots. Every time when imaging a new Sunspot  my skills are increasing. On top of this I invested in my equipment and software and this resulted in much better pictures of Sunspots. I'm now imaging Sunspots in white light, CaK and H-Alpha.
