March 18 2024 Observations. White Light Continuum
Today has been mostly cloudy and I have been really busy around my new home but I did get a Slooh Ha session in this morning and just an hour or so before sunset I managed a white light low power view of the Sun using my Orion70 dedicated solar refractor. My session was from 22:00 until 22:10 UTC. T...

Slooh Ha. Morning of 3-18-24.
This morning was entirely overcast and I never had a chance to pull a scope out until much later in the day a bit before sunset. Here are the Slooh Lunt60 captures from the Teide live feed that I caught this morning. The exact time is in the file name. The Earlier KSO Ha image will help in identifyi...

Mark,
I hope you got a view in. Thanks.
LLichter,
Welcome. The returning AR13590 under a new number is probably one of the returning active regions you see. I am glad you found use of my report.
Warren,
Maybe you should keep it up with AR13590 returning.

Re: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from plasma filament, March 11
Thanks Stephen. I have always thought the proms imaged in K-Line to be a chromospheric phenomena and not belonging to the photosphere. Thanks for your explanations on all.
And I am certainly newer to narrowband solar than I am to white light solar and to all of the nighttime varieties.

Re: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from plasma filament, March 11
Stephen, I very much agree with you but one thing I have questions on. Where does a filament/prominence fit in that exceeds escape velocity and escapes the sun? Proms are an enigma, they consist of usually denser/cooler chromosphere plasma that often reaches high into the corona. Should proms/filame...

Yes, Mark. The sun has gone quieter again and my posts may seem a little misleading because most of the groups are so small, maybe just a tiny spot or two but at least there was something to seek out. If solar makes you move your plans I would say you are dedicated, but good clear skies seem so rare...
