sun11 views2006-10-21 17:10:00 Sol The Sun Celestron C6-R 150mm f/8 refractor with 9x50 5.8° field of view finder 33 36mm Meade QX wide angle (70° AFOV, 2.1° FOV) 33 1/3 x with Celestron neutral density solar filter.

Limb darkening obvious, small grouping of sunspots--what at first appeared to be a larger darker spot was a just discernable triangular pattern. Penumbra just visible on darkest sunspots.

In this sketch, north is at the bottom, east to the left. Over time, the sunspot grouping appeared to move a little bit up and a little right.

Omicron Cygni8 views2006-06-12 22:33:00 Omicron Cygni NULL 9x63 Meade Travelview Binoculars 5.8° field of view 9 Naked eye optical double (mag. 3.78 and 3.93, but 250 light years apart, so not a true double), Omicron 1 Cygni (center) to the south, Omicron 2 Cygni to the north, both yellow-orange. To the northwest is 30695 Cygni which appears to be a blue-green (mainly from contrast) companion of Omicron 1 Cygni in binoculars, but again, it is a chance alignment. The three stars are just west of Deneb and northwest of Sadr in Cygnus.
