Been capturing a good amount of data in the last week, but struggling to process and post online due to time. But i thought todays views were particularly special this morning from work. 

Fantastic contrast between todays Solar Active regions. 2975 on the right is a huge complex mass of small Umbra and Penumbra, 2976 centre is much more like what we usually view. The view is so good, i felt the pseudo-colour would add nothing, so this as the mono camera records it.

all images captured with Evostar 120mm, TeleVue  X3 Barlow, zwoasi174mm camera, Baader Continuum filter

Even more activity has rotated around the limb recently, here is AR 2978

Wonderful shots Pete. I agree, the first is amazing, so much detail in there and the right hand feature is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Cloud here yesterday and today
