JUNE 18TH - VERY QUIET SUN IN HA

[paulastro]

Outside with PST from around 9.30 to 10.15am.  For about 40 minutes I could see no detail at all, no surface detail or proms, not even AR2833 which I knew was on the disc.  It was quite hazy, but even so there's usually something.  I checked GONG and was relieved to see that apart from an indistinct filament patch in the NE quadrant and The sunspot I wasn't missing much!

At 10.10 the haze thinned a little and I did manage to see AR2833 and the filament patch, plus an insignificant small prom in the SW quad.

Still, very little activity, hopefully it's the calm before the storm 🙂.
