Sunspots
Uploaded: November 06, 2004
Taken Oct. 2003, a mere ten hours after one of the largest solar flares in recorded history. Connected my 10D to my Meade 8" LX200GPS, which in effect gave me a 2000mm lens. Used no solar filter...smoke from the recent fires clouded the sky enough to give me a natural filter
