Trying to figure out what the streaks are on the images. They appear as though the optics are experiencing tracking problems, however there are not that many sunspots on the surface of the sun to cause that, plus the image of Venus is not streaked or showing trails. Maybe somthing over or on the solar filters is the cause.
I noticed that, too. The pic in post #16 is the clearest.. you can see a sun spot(?), but those little tadpoles are mostly gone.
