July 18th - H Alpha - White Light - AR2567 - AR2565 *Pic Added 5.22pm

[paulastro]

It cleared up very late morning and I had a chance through quick moving broken cloud around midday.  The seeing was very  variable between the clouds. One reasonable prominence in the E, with not too much else prominence wise.  H Alpha frame taken with Lunt 60 DS, Olympus E-M10 at 11.43 am, 1/100 sec at 500 asa.  White Light disk taken with Equinox 80 and Lunt H Wedge at 11.59 am, 1/4000 sec at 100 asa.  Close up of ARs taken at 12.22 pm, 1/1000 sec at 100 asa plus x2 barlow.  There was another AR to the E and slightly S of the main protagonists - I don't know it's AR number.

** Took another pic of AR2565 taken at 5.28 pm and added it below, just over five hours later than the first one.  There seem to be more changes in AR2567, I suppose this makes sense as it is much more active.  The seeing was dreadful later on, and this is the best I could get.

Thanks David.  I don't know how to tell you this, but yes, it is you.  Anyone can see it's a mule with very large ears and a nose-band over its snout!

Thanks laudropb, but sorry, as I said before to David, it's definitely a large mule with big ears and a nose-band.  Boy, some of you guys really have weird imaginations.  .

I see a Panda's face, but I've been out in the sun far too long. In fact I still am.

Are Pandas related to Mules?

Thanks Michael.  Let's hope we all have a good day tomorrow, with some dynamic solar action.  Looking forward to seeing what's happened first thing tomorrow.
