Still orbiting around the Sun....
Today first clear and sunny day since October 20th. Of course the seeing is terrible as the atmospheric circulation changed from a humid and cloudy African anticyclone to a dry Russian cyclone together with an abrupt temperature fall. No high resolution possible however I did my best to capture a full calcium disc and AR12727, with poor results. This small group is formed by few spots but is very bright in H alpha and in calcium H also. There were also few prominences and filaments but due to the turbulence I decided to give up.

Re: Still orbiting around the Sun....
Nice session, Raf. This is in any case better than nothing (at most places in Europe).
Thanks for sharing.

Bellissimi risultati nonostante le povere condizioni atomosferiche ! Excellent results notwithstanding the poor atmospheric conditions, Raf !

Great to see you managed to get clear skies, and good captures despite the conditions

Tough conditions, Raf, but some Sun is better than none. Nice images.

Re: Still orbiting around the Sun....
Thanks to all for your comments, very kind
The group is still there, both the trailing and following spots are slightly larger than yesterday, look at it if you can.
