Problems Encountered: Good evening Peter, I am purposely taking less
detailed pictures than the previous weeks because for my project I need
contrast only on the sunspots zones. Here is an example. I was wondering
if there was a way to know which is the real orientation of the sun, and
which way it is turning while making an observation. During the span of
a day, as the telescope moves, the sun’s orientation as seen by the camera evolves, and I would like to make it stay the same.
