Lots to see

Hi all, lots of AR's about, yersterday there were several flares but today didn't see any. Screenshots to show what was about yesterday and today.

Took the white light scope out today - I lost count of the number of spots on show.

I know, lot's, AR3007 is a really nice complex group now. I think AR3011 will be too. AR3007, 3010 and 3011 seem to have complex magnetic distrubances too in hydrogen alpha hopefully more flares and sunspot growth.

Nice images Nigella

The superb magnetic patterns around ARs in Ha have really caught my eye in recent days too Nigella. They are glorious. I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by using two Baader 1.25” polarising filters (one on each eyepiece) in the binoviewer at low magnifications (with 32mm Plossls - around 54x). They definitely help bring out the contrast in the background chromosphere on my scope. They do dim the view slightly, so only using them for low power.

Plenty to see there, good to see the "live action images"
