ya man,
The intricate details on every level are just spectacular, I wonder how many hours you spent fiddling with this image.
I zoomed in as far as my browser would let me and it still looked fantastic, sort of like a fractal, self similar awesomeness on every zoom level..)
So now Im gonna just through my 2.0 and my 2.8MP Grasshoppers in the garbage, they can never raise their substandard heads again in this town..,..:)

Some day you should do a time lapse sequence, like at 1 or 5 minute

It's supposed to rain for the next week here.

Hi all,
I arrived at Mount Wilson the day before the transit of Venus. I had
enough time to get everything unpacked and set up for a test run and
shot two streams of video to make sure the computer and cameras were
all happy and talking to each other. I forgot about these files in
the excitement of June 5th. Looking back through the files while
archiving the 200 gigabytes of data from my trip, the conditions on
June 4th were much better than the following day… in fact, it is
some of the best solar seeing I've experienced in some time.
Apologies in advance for the large images, but I couldn't bear to
reduce them:

and for those who prefer a non-inverted look at the solar
chromosphere:

These images are not mosaics. They show the full size field of view
of the Grasshopper Express 6 megapixel chip used with the f 4.8
Stowaway and Televue 2X powermate.
Hope you enjoy them!
