Sol 20-2-17 11.40 new action

[xtreemchaos]

I think I was lucky to get these poor five frames with the state of the sky at the moment, theres deff 2 new spots ,maybe more, even in the vis its hard to tell.just below the spots theres some activity, could be something lurking there too.

kit ed80, 1.5x barlow, lunt wedge, 1200d and a bad cloud filter.

hope you all have better skys than me.  thanks for looking, charl.

coloured invert just to show off my lovely cloud.

I saw a glimpse of the sun through the window at work.  Good to see some new activity on its way.

thanks Pete, yer its the first time ive seen it in ages, even with a covering of cloud it was good too see. charl.

[laudropb]

Well done Charl. The Sun is still too low from my back garden.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Dave, hope you get some good shots mate, even in the vis with the 2x barlow and badder zoom I couldn't get a clear look on any setting, I don't think the seeing is to good here. charl.

[Davey-T]

Seeing not too good here from the little I've seen of it, probably the Jet Stream.

Well done Charl. If you haven't seen it already then this from yesterday seems to be located in the same region. A magnetic re-connection apparently. http://spaceweather.com/images2017/21feb17/20170221064219_512_aia_0304.mp4?PHPSESSID=qe1d32cmf68vcn77tb79u4l011
