JULY 21ST - SPOT THE ARs!

[paulastro]

Observed this lunchtime with the Tecnosky 102ED F7. Too much murk to observe earlier, though the seeing was still poor  - helped somewhat by using the Baader Continuum Solar Filter.

Of main interest was that there were five ARs with sunspots, I think for the first time in the new solar cycle.  The full disc pic is a single frame taken with the Olympus E-M5 Mk11 at 12.15.

You'll be hard pressed to spot them in the full disk pic, so there are also three crops from the same frame to help you 🙂.

You might be able to view big ARs from the South Texas Starbase
