The Sun - 3rd June 2018

[David Smith]

Relatively short session as clear skies soon gave way to clouds and hence a limited crop of data / images. AR12712 is dying but still showing enough activity to make white light views interesting if the seeing is up to some decent magnification. My ES11mm @91x showed some nice detail this morning visually in moments of very steady seeing. Photographically I missed out on Ca-K close-ups and proms as clouds arrived but managed a WL close up of the AR and a 6 pane FD in Ca-K.

great shots David, glad it cleared with u, its sunny here but milky skys, hope it clears later for us so we can get some shots of Jupiter. charl.

[David Smith]

Thanks Charl. Yes, fingers crossed for later, I may even try a bit of imaging.

[newbie alert]

I'm imaging that right now in white light...its the only one I can find

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Nice shots. Wall to wall cloud here, alas.

[Ibbo!]

Good shots David.

 

[laudropb]

Very nice shots David. Totally clouded here, so no chance of a peek.

[Pig]

Nice shots David.... I too have cloud cover although it is very hot ?

[Chris]

Good to get the two views of the active region, nicely done

Looking at this now Dave, in between clouds! It has calmed down a lot since yesterday, seeing isn’t as good but still far fewer spots and pores visible. Faculae looks lovely though.

Nice shots, it shows it very well. CaK lovely too. Shame it’s not possible to do CaK visually very well.

[Freddie]

Some nice work there David.

Very nice shot David. I got a glimpse of the AR today but conditions were far from ideal. Well done on getting the pic

[Peter Drew]

Had a brief visual at 6.15pm today. A small but bright region on the oncoming limb was very active in Ha producing fairly fast moving projections so the possibility of another interesting area soon.

[Lowjiber]

Great work, David.  That Calcium-K shot is mind boggling.

Thanks for sharing your work.

Clear Skies

A fine set of images, particularly the Ca-K disc.
