Today's Solar Disc | HA | June 2nd 2020

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

It's been a hot minute since I've seen the sky at all. Florida has been a hot mess of rain, humidity, storms, clouds, clouds on top of clouds, etc. Just nasty. Anyhow, there were a few sucker holes today between clouds but it was at the worst time of day for me for seeing and for the heat, 2pm... dreaful hour in Florida. But I guess desperation was in full gear. I waited between clouds to do each part of tuning, focusing, etc, for what seemed like a small eternity. I risked imaging through some visibly moving low hanging cirrostratus cloud groupings. Image scale is very course and undersampled as I was going for speed, full disc imaging was at 133 FPS on the IMX174 sensor at F10 through my 60mm Double Stack system. There was no hope for any high res today, sadly, for that wonderful prominence. There's a few active regions, one named (AR2764), some small but obvious filaments around these areas and one rather large prominence arching on the limb. There's some interesting light activity going on near the new AR that is rounding the limb currently.
