DEC 5TH - BYE BYE AR2786, AR2790, GROUP OF PORES AND FACULAE, WL

[paulastro]

Not spectacular but I wanted to say goodbye to AR2786 as it approaches the W limb of the sun having put on such a good show as it crossed the disk, and also to see any faculae that became visible.  Well to the E of AR2790 (the 'little spot' that didn't know it wasn't supposed to generate a major solar flare a week ago) was a group of pores and faculae.  Hopefully these pores may generate some sunspots.

I took a sinlge frame at 1.03pm, using SW 72ED, Baader solar filter and Olympus E-M5 Mk11, 1/1250 at 200 asa.

Nice farewell shot Paul, was hoping to catch it this morning, blue sky everywhere except for the grey bank over the Sun

Nice shot Paul, so thank you.
I didn't get to get a look through the broken cloud today as too busy on jobs on my Van.

Thanks Dave, I was very lucky to get a view in some clear sky, though I did have the scope set up with the camera to rush out if the sky did break.  In fact I was on the phone when the sky lightened and I virtually dropped the phone and dashed out side.  I rang back later to apologise!

How's it going Alan, did you sort your routing out ?

Thank you Alan, that's very kind of you.  I'm sorry you couldn't observe yourself.

Thanks for sharing, cloud here, but managed yesterday to get some data and it's supposed to be clear tomorrow. 

[paulastro]

Good luck tomorrow Nigella 🙂.

A fond farewell to the spot! I didn't get to see it at the weekend. It was partially cloudy here but I didn't fancy the cold and possibly hanging around for a while until it cleared in the right area!

Been great to see the upsurge in activity recently, even if the opportunity to see it has virtually nil. Especially loved seeing seeing multiple active regions visible on Spaceweather at the same time, when was the last time that happened?
