February 17, 2016: Third Solar Lunchtime in as many days

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Just had a great little session, with lots of people coming to have a look. The sun was putting on a nice show. AR2497 still hovered on the edge as a bright plage region, with attendant smaller proms. A fairly big, complicated prom was visible in the north-east, while a slightly smaller prom could be seen in the south-west. A long dark filament showed in the south-east, whereas a number of smaller filaments and associated plage dotted the northern hemisphere. In single stack mode there was a sunspot in the north-east, but in double stack mode that was harder to spot. Amazing to have such a run of good sessions when the weather has been so bad for so long

Same over here Michael, got some new filter paper at the start of the month and have managed six sessions already with it   So much for the new gear jinx!
