Solar views July 31

Had some time today to catch up with a very busy sun. Lots of spots!  First up is a full disk view through my 70mm F12.8 achromat at x45. Followed by a sketch of sketches of a large prominence observed later in the day through my 60mm Lunt solar scope. red pastel on black.

That is so good @MZack, great that you managed to put down on paper all that busy detail!

Very very nice both drawings and nice optics your 70/900! I also looked at the sun at 10.28 UT with a Travelscope 70 (achromatic 70/400) and a Herschel wedge at X40 but I was not able to observe all these details.

Lovely drawings 👍🏻

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. It’s certainly a challenging time to be sketching the sun as it approaches maximum!

I'm going to see the sun this afternoon, after 5:30; I started late yesterday morning and went roast.
