The Sun - 21st April

Post by David_The_Bears_Fan »

With all the AR activity moving off the disk I thought today's session might be quite short, turned out quite the opposite! Lots of prominence activity to grab instead.

Not a whole lot going on in white light but found some nice detail close up.

Broke out the PST for a bit of H Alpha, many people will do this justice later but until then...

Very nice to see the Halpha :bow and great to see some nice granulation in the WL too :) I didn't think there were any proms in Halpha today, I guess I shouldn't rely on GONG and should look on here instead :)
