Solar active regions in white light - 31-07-20

[jonathancd]

Here are images of the two active regions on the sun at the moment in white light.  They were taken using my TEC140 at prime focus, Baader Herschel Wedge and an Altair Astro GPCam3 290M.  Each image was a the best 15% of around 2,500 frames process in Planetary System Stacker and Microsoft photo.  First time using this camera for solar and please with how the granulation has come out.  Good to see the sun seems to be moving out of solar minimum.

After seeing your post, went out and put the filters on my DOB. With a 2x Barlow and a 23mm I could see the spot good.

Great shots @jonathancd. I viewed it in my 4” with a Herschel wedge yesterday and could just detect a few of the tiny pores in the faculae near the smaller spot. You’ve caught them very clearly, nice to see what they looked like in more detail.

Splendid @jonathancd!
