15th May Calcium II K solar session.

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all, a very short session between very fast morning clouds. The dome was being buffeted by gusts of wind and the seeing wasn't that great. I only managed to capture one decent image in Calcium II K, it was impossible to use the HA. I did spot another small spot development in the plage East of AR2822 nearer the North Eastern Limb and what seems like a new plage area on the South Eastern limb coming onto the disk. 100mm AR stopped down to 80mm, zwo asi 178mm Camera.

Always something to see, these solar images of yours, such fine detail and uniformity across the whole disc is amazing.

Yes solar is always changing, that's what I like about our nearest star. Thanks, appreciate your comment.

I am always massively impressed with your images as an “amateur” , I know that word probably doesn’t do your craft justice.

I must ask do you submit these images to any scientific institution as they must be very valuable from a record point of view?

or do you perhaps have them published?

I suppose the same question goes to everyone who produces fantastic images on this forum.

Keep up the good work 😁

Hi Andy, yes, they are sent to the British Astronomical Association solar section and correlated by them. Many thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
