As I work, I find that the sun only shines from Monday-Friday, so I guess when you retire the Sun won't shine at all

Alexandra

Great shots Apollo, the prominence is super

Alexandra

Persistence pays off Marty, these are great the poor chilly little girl, I hope you gave her a hot chocolate after

Alexandra

Wow! that's a good looking CaK disc and a great Halpha

Alexandra

Yes that is correct

Alexandra

It isn't tiltable, but the etalon is. But wasn't Coronado Solarscope in those days?

Alexandra

I have that nice blue colour when looking through my Solarscope blocking filter.

Alexandra

Mark, I am on the Lancaster one and the Calsky one and I haven't had any alerts? mmmm

Alexandra

Fantastic!! I saw this first on Spaceweather and now a SPOD
I wonder why I am not getting any alerts so far this year, especially if Mark is?

Alexandra

Beautiful CaK Stuart, but I wouldn't cut down the trees, they are far more valuable to the planet I think I will be moving my solar to the upstairs window now.

Alexandra

These are great Mark! it is nice to see a broken polar crown filament typical of solar minimum, the small new cycle AR and a new old cycle AR
Your picture speaks a thousand words, isn't the Sun amazing

Alexandra

Wow! what an amazing sail like prom, that would have made a good animation

Alexandra

What a joy to read a post like this :) I love the Sun pics but I think they may be upside down judging by how that jet is flying, otherwise I think the passengers were having a hard time :lol: If you load the avi into Registax (I use version 5) use the frame list to highlight only the ones you want....

A fantastic set Marty, what a lovely little spot

Alexandra

Very interesting and exciting news. I think from now on we need to show the magnetogram image of the same time as this is the only way to identify the cycle change if the poles are reversed from Cycle 24

Alexandra

Beautifully processed Marty, I like to see the spicule edge and faint proms not over processed and light and fluffy
Alexandra

A nice update, I look forward to the pictures though
Alexandra

That really is a cracker Valery

Alexandra

Terrific shots Thomas, I appreciated all the fine details when enlarged to full size
Alexandra

Brian you are always so systematic in your coverage of the disc and various features, these are always beautifully presented and explained. When I go out imaging I have a sort of mad panic dash at anything I can see in a random order and then finally settle on a full disc. I guess I am more used to ...

You still got some nice fine wisps in the proms, it is better than none I think the solar season is ended for me now till February apart from the PST out the bedroom window sessions

Alexandra

Very interesting to see the rill down the centre of the scar, I don't think I have ever seen that before

Alexandra

Beautiful processing! it looks like a little hot spot on the disc and the proms are super too
