First Sun image for nearly a year due to there being very little to see - the spot count has only increased by 19 since my last image in may 2019 and most of those were tiny and short lived.

The Sun 10 April 2019 White Light
First Sun image since last August! Clouds, lack of any sunspot activity and a very busy life at the moment are my excuses! Almost forgotten how to process in addition to Windows complaining about any App that I used (PIPP, Registax5 etc!!) Anyway - stack of 45 from 138 single frames taken with the C...

A couple of active areas on view - third time around for both? AR 2673/2674 then 2683/2682 and now 2686/2685. Seems likely.

Just enough of a gap to get a disk and one close-up today - I believe AR 2683 is most likely the second time round for 2674. 2682 is still showing some spits and spots of activity that were much larger last time round as 2673. 30 September 2017 JPEG.jpg 30 September 2017 Annotated JPEG.jpg 30 Septem...

Today's Sun with a new large AR coming into view- possibly the return of 2673 and all its friends? If it is then we should be in for a good show over the next couple of weeks:

Re: The Sun 22 September 2017 White light
Yes SW ED120 APO in my observatory but in the winter months I use an "ordinary" SW 120mm achromat from a different part of the garden (due to trees). You really can't tell the difference in the final images!
