[QUOTE="Binastro, post: 3525801, member: 111403"] Hi Kimmo, In the clarity of a Finnish winter air I suppose one gets no warning of impending Sun approach. In polluted English towns it is very rare to see a clean Sun with no large white area around it. I wonder if there would be warning here using a Noctivid, not because of the instrument, but just the milky approach to the Sun. Using the ten year old 12x50 Ultravid nearing the Sun looking for the planet Venus it gets impossibly bright well before hitting the Sun. However, I always hide the actual Sun behind a solid roofline. One should never risk actually catching the Sun. In England the planet Mercury is pink. In Finland it is white. [/QUOTE]
