Charcoal sketch of the H alpha sun with AR12745

[acr_astro]

Dear all,

today once again, I did a charcoal sketch of our star bringing us 33°C before lunch time. The solar "north pole" is approximately at the prominence at the top of the sketch. The sketch is right-left flipped. Beside the orientation of the north pole, I figured out on the internet that the bright spot in the left area of the sketch is AR12745. The disc and parts of the prominences is done with natural charcoal. The filament and the dark areas of the prominences are done with the charcoal pen.

Telescope: Lunt LS 50 THa B600 PT
Eyepiece: Celestron X-cel 10mm
Date & Time: July 23rd, 2019 / 1130-1200 CEST
Location: home terrace, Dusseldorf region, Germany
Technique: natural vine charcoal and Koh-i-Nor charcoal pen on white Hahnemühle Ingres mould-made pastel paper
Size: 24x31cm

Clear (and sunny) skies!

It's a wonderful sketch Achim.

My plan is to avoid the Sun altogether in the next few days. 36-39 °C is too hot for me!

Hi Ruud,

I'll do this here as well. Sunblinds down and staying more or less inside. But now I have a sketch of the sun inside the house

And it's not hot. It's black - light switched off!

Clear skies!
