AUGUST 28TH - A GREAT DAY TO BE A SOLAR OBSERVER.

Up early 7.45 to 8.10 am to fabulous activity within AR2860. It was sizzling with activity, multiple hot spots and flaring toward the N of the AA, using the PST. Lots of filaments and very nice prominences in the W.

Went out for another look later at 10.35 and there were some detached elements from the prominences in the W.

In between HA views I got the Tecnosky 102ED F7 out for some WL solar views.  Lovely complex detail in  AR2860.  Took a single frame at 10.16am with the Olympus EM-5 Mk11, 1/6400 at 250 asa. Full disc and crop below.

Nice one Paul. Good to see such an active Sun.

Not the best time for my Solarscope filters to be out of action! Had to send the DS unit back to the factory.

Sorry about your DS unit Mark.  I hope you're up and running again soon.

A very nice white light capture. So much going on again, good to see the Sun very active.
