Thank you Dominic. I am not sure that I was very clear. Each time I image the Sun, I use Tilting Sun software to indicate how much the Sun appears tilted from the Earth’s point of view. A day or two ago the Sun went from tilting to the left through zero and is now very slightly tilting to the right. It was at perihelion on January 3 when the apparent tilt of the Sun was zero. I wondered if that was coincidence or not.
