DIY Solargraph

It's almost June 21 and thus time to prepare your pinhole camera shooting solargraphs.
This time I will be using different, not glossy, photo paper. I will also try using a bigger can capturing the sunlight. We will see the results after 6 months, hopefully :)

No sunspots today

It's almost two years ago that we observed a sun without any sunspot's! Within the next months and upcoming years we will get used to it :)
