Interesting Filament, Convection Cells | Oct 23rd 2019

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

Woke up to a fairly clear sky, it's been storming for days with the remnants of the tropical storm that just finished up in the Gulf of Mexico. Not much going on today on our star, but a fairly interesting and dark filament, doesn't look like much at course scale, but at fine scale it reveals interesting little structural details and a wispy little tail even. Found a wee spot with some polarity throwing up a little filament near the center of the disc in the chromosphere network too, very tiny. No major prominences. Grabbed some convection cells to round it out to see some high resolution examples of our deep solar minimum.

Very best,

Another set of excellent detailed images.
