Sunspot 2723 (Animated!), Proms, 120mm HA | Oct 2nd 2018

Post by MalVeauX »

Heya,

AR2723 has evolved a bit more and is more interesting with the visible umbra. I didn't capture any major flaring, but there is definitely some higher temperature activity happening in some of the region. There's an interesting cooler material movement that seems to be pulling into the largest umbra (top), like a small filament looping in. Pretty neat movement. Also took a look at the proms, they're fairly feint, nothing very bright or huge out there, but interesting regardless. The animated AR2723 represents 44 minutes of real time.

Celestron Omni XLT 120mm F8.3 Refractor + Quark + ASI174MM
