Sunspots

I haven’t tried the Sun in a long time.  Perhaps since the Transit of Mercury years ago.  I tried today with my DSLR.  Focus was a pain and not incredibly satisfactory but I got a few images and was able to stack them  I hope you like it. Click the image for a larger view.

 

Venus and Jupiter Conjunction

Sam and I just got back from looking at the conjunction this evening.  Venus was of course the much brighter of the two.  The encroaching clouds actually helped a bit giving some variety to the background.  This was with a lens set at 70mm for 2 seconds.
