MAY 22ND - WL - AR2824

[paulastro]

I observed between clouds this afternoon.  The sunspot had quite a lot of structure in it, though the seeing was rather poor.

Managed a short session today at around 6pm and glad that I did.  After my usual initial pan round the disc showed nothing unusual apart from AR2824 I decided to set up my seat for a more protracted view.  In the minute or so that it took me to do this all hell had broken out on the AR.  It was just like a major volcanic eruption with white hot lava appearing to flow from a vent close to the main sunspot.  This gradually developed until there was a ring of fire surrounding the area, by far my best catch for some considerable time.  It was all over after about 10 minutes but quite exciting at the time.  150mm PST mod x150.    🙂
