| The
sun is slowly becoming more active. Today we have a clover leaf
shaped single sunspot, with a long snake like filament nearby.
Another spot is emerging onto the limb. Also, there are some
very fine prominences protruding from the limb. These were shot
at 9am this morning, and the seeing was the best of the day.
Nearly all images
here using the Coronado 2x solar barlow, except for the last
image, with a Televue 5x power mate. |
