MARCH 22ND - WL - AR3615 WELL WORTH OBSERVING.

[paulastro]

Out this.morning from around 11 -11.45 with the Seestar, its quicker to get out than my refractors and  the cloud was building up.

There was a fair wind and I was operating it from my car and it was being well buffeted but the seestar always returned the sun to the centre of the frame.  In the end I lost my nerve in case it was blown over and so Ipacked up.

AR3165 is very complex and active and well worth observing.  Single frame below taken at 11.06 am. Info below from spaceweather.com

Good pic considering the conditions.:)

I must try and get a look at his grouping of Sunspots.

I managed about 2 minutes on it today, in very poor seeing but still it’s a great one to observe. Hoping for some clearer skies tomorrow, thanks for the heads up Paul.

In between clouds (these days there’s always clouds!), but I can clearly see it just by eye wearing eclipse glasses. Just setting the telescope out now. Those glasses (I gave two pairs) are one of the best astronomy purchases I’ve made.

Great views today. I could not recommend more. Also seen with eclipse glasses.

I managed a slightly longer look today, but the seeing was, again, fairly rough though a little better than last time. It’s an amazing AR, very complex 👍
