Solar snippets of the day June 3rd

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all, another glorious day of sunshine but seeing wasn't that great. Nevertheless there was some interesting activity. Particularly on the south eastern limb. The new system that appeared a couple of days ago shows some nice magnetic activity although no spots at the moment. This could mean that there could be a further build up of magnetic activity and thus spot forming and maybe flares. On the limb there was a faint but nice spray prominence associated probably with an Active Region coming onto the solar disk. A few small filaproms too which are nice to see wrap around the limb. Screenshots for info.

Thanks for all the images and share Nigella, 
I have been unable to observe this week as roof being removed on house and too much dust for optics,
so very much appreciated.

So that’s what the sun looked like today. Clouded out here all day. 😢

Glad it's helpful Alan. Goodness, roof removed, that's a huge job.

I'm forecast rain at the weekend so had to make the most of today.

I’d hoped to try out the Evolux82 with the Lacerta wedge with a shorter  eyepiece holder which may allow enough infocus. 🙏🏼

Indeed it is, even more worrying with the storm warning just given on tonight’s news !
fingers 🤞 it’s as watertight as the roofer assures me it is.
