BSc (Hons) Physics with Astrophysics - Solar scope - Mike Wooster
In his 3rd year project, Mike Wooster used the solar scope attachment on the new Trent Astronomical Observatory to observe the Sun through a narrow band H-alpha filter. The patchy structure of the Sun’s surface due to convection currents is clear. He also observed sunspots and monitored their motion and the motion of a solar prominence.
