The sun was fabulous this morning, in both white light and Hα, including a huge but faint prominence.

I really enjoyed viewing the sun on the 7th! The sunspots were really interesting in white light and there was the big prom in h-alpha. Two of the fragmented spots looked to me like they were facing away from each other, with a little band connecting them together.

I think I'm enjoying white light more than h-alpha these days. I just really appreciate the clarity you get with white light.

It was a lovely day here, enjoying viewing the sun with my wife and son. Then we moved onto Saturn, Jupiter, M13, Alberio, the Owl Cluster, the Ring Nebula.

Brilliant Luke and a few of my favourite objects to look at in particular the ring and owl cluster.
