The first 3 minutes are taken with the Canon SX60HS showing the setup of the Nikon P900, Manfrotto tripod and video head, homemade solar filter, gadgets and a slew of magnifying glasses. Then onto the Sun!  There's supposed to be a small sunspot but I couldn't find it.

Also talk about the upcoming Full Moon SuperMoon BlueMoon BloodMoon Lunar Eclipse (that's a mouth full) - and the Meteor/Earthquake over in Michigan last night.
