April 20, 2015: Something is rearing its head on the eastern limb

Just been out observing/imaging with the Solar Spectrum kit, and while the computer chugs away had a quick look with the SM-II 60 for a full disk view. While it does not have the level of detail of the other kit, it does give stunning views of the ARs that currently dot the disk. A huge filament adorns the north of the disk, and some more filaments can be seen down south. When I started the early morning imaging session, I spotted a low, flat prom on the east, hinting at the presence of yet another AR round the corner. Just now, something seems t be rearing up from that area. Could be worth watching

Seems to have sagged again. Still plenty to see

Getting set up now,its a gorgeous day. Ment to be like this all week and it just so happens,im off work all week.

Going to try a polarizing filter too (or at least one half of the filter,too bring the image brightness down for better contrast)
