Hi,
Im a frequent follower of spaceweather, and yesterday Ive photograph the Sun in the North of Portugal with only a Nikon D3100 and a zoom lens 55-200 mm.
There were some clouds in around a little montain of 600 m high, by the sea.
When I was shoothing my camera, Ive notest some little 3 dots I right there I sougth it could be some solar dark spots!
When Ive arrived home, I went to my computer to spaceweather.com and there they were: 3 dark spots in the Suns corona! A blast!
So Im sendding some pictures of mine, free of any rights, for you to publish if you like.
Thanks.
