Solar minimum 28th October

Re: Solar minimum 28th October
Hello Alexandra,
While the sun is extremely quiet, in the H-a I see at least three areas where an 11" telescope will show something worth
to image at a good seeing. Something like I posted here. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=25272
And one such an area in the CaK. Also may be some prominences at the limb.

Hi Alexandra...
A quiet disk, but the images are sharp and do have some small scale details. Nicely done
