Using the 80-cm McMath-Pierce image, we compare equatorial and meridian limb darkening and find they are identical. Observations consist of 20 scans over 30 minutes at 15648 Å (H- opacity minimum) and 34168 Å continua. Noise is sky and disk structure limited. System noise is negligible at ± 0.005%; disk structure noise is ± 0.03% at 15648 Å 0.02% at 34168 Å. Our next step will be to compare these limb darkening results with those predicted by solar models. Ref: Livingston & Sheeley, 2008, ApJ 672 no.1, in press.
