The Sun - 15th Jun 2015

[David Smith]

Back to imaging this morning. Lovely blue skies at 06:00 so I had time to both sketch and image. Quite a few of the smaller spots / groups seen yesterday have evaporated over night, including what looked like a new spot / group rounding the limb.

Nice catch. I hope those faculae in the east herald some more ARs

Lovely pictures, Dave.

The orientation sketch at the top is a nice touch - is that how it appears when observed through a refractor? I've never been able to work out the direction of travel or where the equator is

[David Smith]

Thanks all.

@DRT it is tricky and I still get confused when I switch between sketching and imaging sometimes. I use a program called tilting sun which also provides me with the orientation pic in the corner of my final image.

Lovely WL David, hopefully we'll get a bit of Sun here later.

Very nice images. Thought we would have a new ar with the activity i saw on that limb yesterday

Very nice as always amazing how the skies managed to clear for Monday morning again!
