Heads up today (5 August 16)

If you get a chance today, Sol is worth a look. There's a gorgeous multi arch system on the Eastern limb. Looks rather like an intricate viaduct. 

Don't leave the Western limb out either, there's a lovely pillar doing an impressive impression of the Eiffel Tower. 

Happy viewing. ??

Just watching the BBC  lunch time forecast, set to get windy for folk up north and still a lot of cloud drifting over.

What's it like in white light? Any spots worth looking at? Cloud here at the moment, but due to clear soon I believe. Fingers crossed!

I didn't pull out a white light set up but in Ha there were some nice active regions on the disk so possibly some nice granulation patterns. I didn't notice any sunspots but we are somewhere around solar minimum?

Hi. Got a view of the sunspots mentioned this afternoon with my Borg - Lunt Wedge - continuum filter combo. 

Very nice too
