the sun, tracked (Blue Mountains)

I tried Eric's PST. It occurred to me to put it on my Super Polaris mount to track it.

Tim H. loaned me a little bolt, about 1" long, to fit the tripod mount. I used a spacer, about ¼" thick, and attached it to the plate.

As expected, viewing the Sun without having to fiddling with the tracking is sweet.

There were a lot of prominences!
