Sunday Morning Sun

Recommended Posts

What a glorious Sunday morning we have in Northampton, beautifully clear blue skies and no wind :laugh:

The sun is pretty quiet today compared to recent events but is still looking wonderful.

There are a few small prominences dotted about the limb, the more notable being the group of 3 toward the 12 O'clock position and a strange sideways angled prom around the 5 O'clock position.

The sunspots are a little small today but there are quite a few of them huddled together, they can be separated quite nicely when zoomed or when using a higher power eyepiece, some excellent detail available.

The surface is particularly pleasing today with lots of granulation and filaments floating around, I think the almost perfect clear conditions are helping.

Its very strange watching the detail change before your eyes giving a very animated experience.

We also have a Coronal hole pointing our way. smack in the centre :shocked:

Thanks for the excellent report. It's raining up here but makes no difference as the telescopes are packed away for a while whilst I move; hopefully to somewhere sunnier! Hope to be back in action in the autumn.

Afternoon update

There are 2 proms around the 1 O'clock position and they have joined to form a complete circle, its looking ready to pop :shocked:

Another set in the 3 O'clock position are also starting to combine forces  :smiley: Unfortunately the gathering clouds look like they may interrupt proceedings.
