First Post and Personal Achievement
Hey Everyone,
My first post but I've been lurking for a while trying to learn as much as possible. Lots of great information over here on the SC forum and it is much appreciated!
Here is my WL image from last Saturday 11/29 taken at 10:33 ET. This was the first time I was able to resolve some small details and see contrast inside the granules of the photosphere, and I am super excited about it!
Thanks for looking!
