Hi Folks, Here are some data showing further geomagnetic unrest during January as the magnetic field carried by the solar wind turned south periodically these past three days. The event gave rise to bright aurora and produced geomagnetic effects easily detected on magnetometers around the globe, inc...

Hi Mark, May I suggest that you click on the staff link under ‘presentation’ and email Dr Baumgartner. Let him know your a solar imaging specialist etc... and see if he’ll give you privileged access. I’m sure he’ll be interested when you explain the global reach of Solarchat, point him to your web p...

Glad you got some Sun, Mark. Just clouds and fog for most of the day here. Nice FDs.

Stu.

Another very fine set of images, Pedro.

Stu.

Lovely images, Alexandra. Nice to get out for a breath of fresh air.

Same weather as yours here today. No chance of solar imaging.

Stu.

Nicely done, Rainer. WL is as blank as a Billiard ball. Roll on cycle 25!

Stu.

I'm feeling the cold just thinking about it, Brian. You're a brave man.....

Nice images. It's a real pity there isn't much activity (again) other than a few little proms and a filament or two.

Stu.

That setup holds lots of promise, Alfred. The conditions have to be exceptionally good for optimal results. Nice first-light image though with good contrast and detail that can only improve with better seeing. Glad the cell is working well as I designed it for the machining guy that Alexandra found....

Maybe one for the reference library:

A very high resolution spectrum from UV into IR.

Very nice, Eric. I’m always envious of your Calcium proms

Stu.

Another very nice FD, Rainer.

Stu.

Nice images, Pedro. We’ve a sunny weekend in prospect (mainly Sunday), so looking forward to imaging again at last.

Stu.

Beautiful images, Pedro. Funny story too.

Stu.

Beautiful, Eric. Very nice FDs.

Stu.

Nice images, Phil.

Your full disks are beautifully uniform. Nice close views too.

Stu.

Looking good, Alexandra.

Stu.

Many thanks Brian, Alexandra and Mark.

The past few days saw an outbreak of beautiful aurora around the poles although there was no significant solar activity to be seen. What did occur was the interplanetary solar wind, which carries with it a magnetic filed, flipped south sporadically and this allowed the solar wind to penetrate deeper...

Hi Alexandra, It seems to be very variable. Mostly okay, but occasionally very slow, as you say. All but the smallest of images (less than a few hundred kB i.e. thumbnails) should be independently located and just linked to in order to save space. I must say, I’m surprised that our total available s...

Very nice FD, Rainer.

Stu.

Very nice images, Phil. Great to see the emerging activity.

Stu.

Many thanks, everyone.

Sorry it doesn’t work for you Mark & Alexandra.

Stu.

Very nice indeed, Olivier. A superb debut.

Stu.

Lovely images, Marty. Just clouds and rain here, so it’s nice to see what I’m missing.

Stu.

Very nicely done, Rainer.
