Sunspot AR 2561-2564 with Baader solarfilm

Today I used first time ever Baader solarfilm to make some pictures of the sun. The solarfilter from Baader ND5.0 was assembled on the TAL 200K. Pictures taken by Nikon D60 on the oculair.
Results show a more white picture then the one i used before. This was more yellow.

Again sunspots and bright sundogs

During the sunny periods I was able to observe a big flare and a few sunspots with the PST Coronado 40mm. Unfortunately I was not able to take some pictures as I still was busy how my new AZ-EQ operates. On top of that the battery went down of the powerpack.
Luckely and due to high clouds at sunset some sundogs appeared, first right, later to the left of the sun. And that I was able to put on camera.
