Sun Today

Managed an hour viewing today quite enjoyable

[Peter Drew]

I managed a few minutes at 6pm.  Quite good seeing and unusual to see two parallel filaments.  They looked wider spaced than this excellent image but I was using a much higher magnification.      🙂

Good catch, only clouds here.

Nice shot. That spot is getting close to the edge (if there is an edge to a sphere!!!) now. Like Dave, only clouds for me too.

Lovely image. I did a very quick sketch at 6.10 pm, and as Peter said, at that time in the PST there looked to be a wide space between the two filaments, at low power using 10mm on the zoom.

Twelve hours before, 6.55 -7.15 am, I there was only one filament.

The pics are not the same orientation as in the morning I did the drawing from memory, using a GONG image to help me place what I had seen in the correct place when I came indoors.

That's very kind of you, though I do my sketches fairly quickly just to get a record for my observing book. They are more utility rather than artistic 😄.
