Sunspots, taken with a solar filter.

That's a really impressive photo. It's too bad that weather and equipment problems conspired to prevent you from photographing the transit of Venus, but now you have a first-class setup and know how to use it. No doubt it will come in handy for other astronomical events in the future.

Decent photo, but not appropriate for UrbanOhio for obvious reasons.

Decent photo, but not appropriate for UrbanOhio for obvious reasons.

The General Photos section exists for topics that aren't specifically urban; it's a place where photographers can post work they want to share that doesn't fit the other two photography sections, City Photos - Ohio and City Photos - USA/World. The photo is interesting, quality work that represents significant investment in time, effort, and equipment, and it's entirely appropriate here.

Actually, notwithstanding the fact that this geographical feature is 93 million miles from Akron, I actually have a pretty decent view of it from here.  (Well, OK, not at the moment, because it happens to be raining cats and dogs as I type this.)  It's a fairly prominent feature of the view here, at least during the daytime.  It's a little harder to see at night.

Thank you Rob.  Wonderful photo!
