Solar Activity 04 Jun

[brianb]

Better conditions for a time this morning - then it clouded over leaving me with an incomplete set of observations (no white light, no CaK closeups). I suppose I'm lucky to have got anything at all as a new item of equipment was delivered yesterday - a 2.5x Powermate - funnily enough this gives almost exactly the same scale as my trusty "2x" Celestron Ultima barlow, which will now be getting chopped to give less extension.

Disc very similar to yesterday in CaK overview and Ha activity.

Indid have a look using my white light filter but the high cloud made it a pretty poor view
