Another beautiful and sunny day - perfect to test my new solar filter and the solar finder which fits my telescope perfectly.

Maybe a surprise for many, it’s challenging to find and track the sun when you’re not allowed to look at it directly without eye protection.
The little finder does a perfect job 👍🏼

I managed to shoot a nice photo of the sun, zoom and enjoy the nice details of the surface ☺️🔭👌🏻

I may be hot and bothered over this view of the sun. Look at those spots, please, just look at them. Aren't they beautiful?

Oh look, there's more sunspots.

I missed solar observing, and it seems now is the perfect time!
