Solar Activity 27 Mar (part 2)

[brianb]

(continued from part 1)

There is a new active area, as yet unnumbered, appearing at the east limb. The strange thing about this is that, though the spot is well formed, there appears to be little associated activity in the way of Ha or CaK plage.

2010 Mar 27, 1032 UT. FLT 110 @ f/21, Baader solar film, DMK21

2010 Mar 27, 1125 UT. FLT 110 @ f/21, B1200 CaK, DMK21

Prominences are interesting but not spectacular.

2010 Mar 27, 1014 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/24, DMK21

NW limb:

2010 Mar 27, 1016 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/24, DMK21

SW limb:
