Sol in H⍺ - 11th June 2022

[Hughsie]

To invert or not invert an image when processing? Some like the dramatic effect that the inverted images produces, others like the more natural look of dark sunspots rather than bright sunspots.

As for me, I do enjoy the inverted look more and would encourage it especially if only to bring out detail that otherwise would not be seen e.g. the proms around the solar disc or the filaprom in the image below. In the end produce what gives you more pleasure, that’s what I say.

Solar Disc

Our Sun continues to be quiet in comparison to recent weeks with only 3 active regions. AR13030 looks to be promising, having produced a size prominence a few days earlier as it rotated on to the visible side of the Sun. Small filaments pepper the northern hemisphere and, when inverted, we can see a filaprom on the south east limb.

     

AR13029

Located S17W39 on the solar disc, this region of activity has gradually diminished since peaking in size on 9^thJune 2022. Now designated BXO, it is comprised of two sunspots. On the flare front, this region has been quiet over the last 24 hours, the last been a C1.7 class flare on 9^th June.

     

AR13030

This new active region is 180 millionths of the hemisphere, some 540 million square kilometres and is comprised of 7 sunspots. Classified EAO, this region is currently located N20E52. It is actively producing flares producing an M1.2 class emission 24 hours earlier.

      

AR13031

Much smaller in comparison to AR13030, these 2 sunspots are located S27E36 on the solar disc and is classified CRO. It has been quiet on the flare front only producing one worthy of note, a B8.8 class flare on 10^th June 2022.

Great images. Like you, I like the inverted colours. It gives a nice three dimensional feeling to them and somehow the details are easier to pop.

very nice
