jabeoo1 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So is this likely to be a well known sunspot group ? How 'permanent' are these groups over time ? I am pretty naive to the facts about these features. Anyone throw some info in on this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get named until the appear if they're a returning one I think they still get a new name or could be an intergalactic mothership refueling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly can make it all the way around again, a sunspot can last several months, though sometimes we're guessing a bit if we think it's been there before. It takes about 27 days for a spot to rotate all the way round, the equator rotates faster than the poles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Glad you got a look-in this morning, Pete. It seemed to me like the seeing was much improved today. The new AR is sweet Hope some others got a look-in over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Managed to capture that in H-alpha and in white light. The latter needs work, but the former came out quite well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
