There's definately stuff to look at :)
Almir Germano from Brazil
Using my Lunt LS60, double stacked with the LS50 filter. Good seeing and transparency (4/5 and 3/5).
Lumenera SkyNyx 2.2, previously owned by Andy Lunt (it is a small world)
Two.avi, one for the proms and one for the disc. Hard to focus on the screen in full bright daylight, very hot under the hood!
I inverted the orientation of the image for the northerners.
The small blue dot is for comparison with Earth. Very humbling vision.
The AR visible were very active indeed, nine flares in the subsequent week!
Down bellow goes another image. Above is of myself with a big smile beside my Lunt….
And my place! I do all my observations from my backyard.
Living in a 400.000 people town, dark skies are a thing of the past. During the day we have the skies frequently obscured by ashes from the nearby sugar cane plantations (yes, they still burn before harvesting). Otherwise things are good… =]
Clear skies!
This one is an animation, from jan 12th, 13:49 – 14:12 UTC. This “caterpillar” prominence and the loops are from AR 1402 and 1401, just before they began to show up in the earthside of the Sun.
Same day, a little earlier. Full disc animation. You can see a “microflare” going off in AR 1395. Cool, isn’t it?
This sunspot cycle is becoming a thing to remember (not to mention a little spooky…). Here goes another one, from the current “actress”, AR 1320. Wow… naked eye sunspots, humongous. This one is in white light, using my Celestron C8, Lumenera, Powermate 2,5. No H-alfa that day, Sol just went behind my neighbor wall…
