Title: 1158 Sunset Comparison Post by: martinastro on February 16, 2011, 06:38:44 pm (http://i56.tinypic.com/2n9gox5.jpg)
(http://i55.tinypic.com/vnzec9.jpg) Two images taken today before sunset with the 400mm. For the first I held a sheet of astro solar filter over the objective to pick up two sunspot regions. The lower one is 1156 which is the source of the recent M and X-class flares and radio blackouts. The next image is without the filter when the sun lowered into the haze.

Apparently, reading around the web it's an issue caused by my router (of all things!), seems there's quite a few folk having this issue aswell >:(
