[QUOTE="Blank_Stare, post: 5833302, member: 568230"] Total newb here, when it comes to observing sunspots, or even observing the sun at all... I see that your images have a location listed for where the spots are. How do you record a location on a swirling ball of gases and plasma? Is the system set up to just locate on the disk, and each image records a new location with regards to the disk top/bottom, left/right, or do you have some magical fixed point of reference, that rotates with the sun? (The sun does rotate, right?) Since I don't know if sunspots move, looking at the locations listed doesn't really get me to a definitive answer... Sorry if it's a stupid question, but it begged asking. [/QUOTE]
