Thanks Franco

I will try to do a few animations of the surge as well

The new AR is a double sunspot (SDO images)

Fantastic!!! :hamster: :bow
At least it will give us something to focus on before the eclipse :) if it isn't cloudy :( I fear by this time next week it will be 2/2 eclipses clouded out for me as the weather forecast looks terrible :( I am gutted.

Thanks Alexandra

You're right, the new AR is very convenient. It not easy to focus with no sunspots

Fingers crossed for your eclipse expedition

best regards
