See attached. A small project completed today at perihelion for the earth..... two snapshots through the same equipment, one at perihelion and the other at aphelion. Sure enough, the Sun has a different apparent diameter. Quick measurements in photoshop show a 3.07% difference between the two, which agrees with expectations rather nicely! Happy perihelion to you all!
