Super filament

[Davey-T]

This morning, cant remember the last time we had such a biggie, things are looking up at last.

A few nice proms as well.

Just been looking at this now, really nice active area there with the sun spot and wiggly filament, also another shorter filament nearby.

So pleased that I was able to sort out the blue glass element on my Lunt, I can literally tune from one end of the filament to the other.

Agree Dave - Jaw dropping views of this gorgeous filament today through new 70mm Solarscope filters, and lovely active region too.

wish my scope would come then I could see all this activity

Sounds exciting. Mostly cloudy here, alas

[jonathan]

Total cloud just coming across here too now, glad I decided to get out for a look.  Tried my hand at solar photography (through my Lunt) but just got a flat red disc, I'm sure I've missed a few steps there then!

Where are you finding that sun Mark? Cloudy skies here.

Glad the new scope is delivering (in spades by the sounds of it!) 👍👍

It was certainly cloud dodging rather than long relaxing looks Stu. And now weather app on phone shows cloud until Christmas..... The new filters are incredible! This morning among the best astronomy experiences I’ve ever had. But not just the equipment - as Dave says, the filament is the best I’ve seen for many years - makes all the difference

The weather's gone completely to pot up here !

I'm not happy , it's just not cricket , tennis or polo  !

The whole things put me in a most unsavoury mood 💀

But it's just like normal June weather I suppose 😅
