One of my other hobbies beside treasure hunting is astronomy, which includes observing the sun. It is probably the most interesting thing in the heavens to watch. Every day it looks different and sometimes you could swear some of its feature look like living creatures. I have observed it during both solar minimum and solar maximums ( we are in solar maximum now) and it's always awesome to view in Hydrogen-alpha
I use a Coronado PST Ha telescope with both the standard > 1.0 angstrom and a double stacked > .5 angstrom etalon filter depending on what's going on that day.
Any other sun watchers on here? If so maybe we can keep a thread going. I got a telescope camera a few years ago that I didn't really use much due to various reasons at the time but I have been thinking about digging it out and having another go at it. Maybe I can post some pictures and build up some interest.
Anyway....thought I would give a shout out.
