Sun 7 Dec in H-alpha

[sheri_barri]

Finally braved the negative degree temperatures to dig out the shed door from the snow and have a look at active regions 1131 and 1133. It was thoroughly worth it! Didn't manage long in the cold with the sun just skimming the neighbours landscaping. AR1131 is a monster! Had a look with binomites as well which has been the best sunspot I've seen with them so far.

Today's sun showed an impressive array of filaments, sunspots and prominences. The spray of prominence is especially interesting.

The images are taken only 5 min apart however I rotated the etalon a bit to try and emphasise different regions. Hope it helped.

Thank you for looking.

Beautiful images! I don't know anything about solar imaging - an etalon is an interferometer yes? - but I do know these images are stunning

The hedgerow is really nice Sheri.. Great post!

Superb, as is the norm from you Sheri. That sunspot is a corker. I must get some more solar filter film..

Very nice full disk & prom composites ... I think the second one is slightly better tuned.

Astonishing solar images Sheri, such details visible, and I am amazed that the sun has a Willow Fence .

Really splendid stuff.

Wow, Sheri......I have never seen the sun that way before. I know I have a lot to learn in the field of solar imaging and what you do is way more advanced than I intend to get. Keep up the inspiring work !!

Excellent shot of the massive prom there Sheri.

Made it worth digging out the shed :-)

Thank you all for your kind comments. Despite the cold, I must agree... it was worth it. Shame the clouds have set in once again...
