NE limb activity

[Floater]

Two or three large proms on the NE limb this morning.

One great looping affair, well worth a look.

Just did, who says the Sun has gone to sleep!

A magic sight. A good opportunity to give my Quark a garden adventure. Captivated by the proms, and so pleased with the Quark. Best views I've had with it so far. Even tried it with an f11 102mm, and provided I stuck with a 40mm plossl, the view was surprisingly good. Great detail on the proms, as long as I pulled a hood down tight around my head and the eyepiece, to shut out any other light. Still learning how to drive it, but loving it. White light not so enthralling, but still a couple of small active areas.

Enjoy the afternoon!

[NGC 1502]

Two or three large proms on the NE limb this morning.

One great looping affair, well worth a look.

Saw them too with my Lunt 35, nice sight even with a low sun.  Not much in white light however, just a few tiny sunspots.

Regards, Ed.

Can't resist!

At which end of the eyepiece was 'the loopy one through the Quark'?
