I seek Sol's light in a sunbeam.
Still using the small aperture mylar filter.
The full 60mm aperture of this telescope would no doubt increase sunspot resolution.
Will keep a look out for a decent 60mm diameter solar filter.
En passant: I am reminded of a quote from one of my favourite astronomy writers.
Joseph H. Elgie wrote the following in April of 1907 :
That breath of "perfume" Elgie talks about is possibly what we today would call Petrichor.
Fascinating to make that "perfume" to "petrichor" connection, a span of some 118 years! A tenuous connection to Joseph Elgie, but still...
