Great stuff Tom. Thanks for sharing.

I used a 70mm refractor with a 60mm H-alpha filter. The native focal length is 480mm, which was extended to 960mm with a Barlow. The angular size of the Earth at the distance of the Sun is about one-fourth of the length of that prominent horizontal filament just above the center of the image. The file is 4.0 Mb, so it might take a while to fully load the animation. http://www.pbase.com/polakis/image/147156484 Tom -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
