Solar Activity 14 Jun (part 1)

[brianb]

See my "overview" thread for the bigger picture.

AR 11080, right on the south western limb, has a last fling which I caught the tail end of: note the small bright eruptive prominence and the brighter spot on the limb just above it.

1421 UT. Solarscope 60, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

AR 11081 approaches the western limb:

0914 UT. Solarscope 60, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

0948 UT. WO FLT 110, Lunt solar wedge, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

0940 UT. WO FLT 110, Lunt B1200 CaK diagonal, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

Although there are no "white light" visible spots, interesting things are happening on the north east limb:

0952 UT. WO FLT 110, Lunt solar wedge, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21 (two frame mosaic)

0927 UT. Solarscope 60, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

1424 UT. Solarscope 60, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

Note the small flare very close to the limb in the afternoon image. The disc images were "forced" to show the bright prominence but have not done it justice:

0920 UT. Solarscope 60, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21

1425 UT. Solarscope 60, 2.5x Powermate, DMK21
