Sun 10.03.19 Small WL spot.

[Rusted]

Small dark spot in white light.

Several areas of disturbance [plage] spread around the disk in H-alpha.
At least two dark filaments.
Two nice proms opposite each other on the limb.
Several dark pores.

Check Gong H-a for the orientation of these features.

Cloud increasing here after a clear start at 09.00 CET.

Lost my Wi-Fi on the observatory laptop so missed my H-a blog update.

Thanks for the update. It's all cloud, wind and rain here so not looking likely I will get any viewing time today. Of course the forecast for tomorrow (when I'm back at work) is sunny, bright and clear

Sorry to hear that, David.

The filament at my 8.00 is large and branched a one end. Whoops! It has largely collapsed back into the sun! 10.50 CET.
The nearest prom is rather large with trunks supporting a "windblown" cloud with fine, smokey texture.

Seeing not so good as last time with more of a ring to my PST etalon sweet spot.
I'm moving the field of view around the disk to bring out the best view because it's not so even as before.

I have ordered Wiliam Optics 2x nosepiece to increase the power without jumping up to the 2.6x TS PC.
Then hopefully I can use the 32mms with full disk instead of the 26mm.
Backup is a new pair of Meade 4000 40mm. Just in case. Despite the smaller field of view.
