A Little More Solar Observing
I am still feeling rather lousy and lacking energy so I didn't think it would be wise to do much today. My plan was to lay low and recover. I want this virus behind me... once again! (Perhaps the third time is the charm.) The lawn is in need of mowing but I have been putting that off for the past few days in an attempt to recover. This morning was a fairly clear day outside though so I mustered up the energy to drag one of my telescopes outside to do some solar observing again for a short while. This wouldn't require nearly as much energy as mowing the lawn or any other project that needs to be done so solar observing was the thing to do this morning. This time I grabbed my longest telescope so I could do some closeup observing. I haven't used this telescope in a while. This telescope is fairly long at 1000mm. When we combine that with the internal Barlow lens of the Quark Chromosphere hydrogen alpha solar filter I was using, that put my total focal length at 420
