Update: May 29, cycle 25?

Post by PDB »

Yesterday some small activity, but looking at SDO today seems already gone. (Clouds today, so can't verify)
Also some Polar Faculae

Imaged with the 80mm, so only small image resolution. (Seeing did not allow much more anyway)
Insets a full pixel scale. (open in new tab for full image size)

according to SpaceWeahter's page of 31 May, these ephemeral spots might belong to cycle 25.

Thanks Alexandra & Franco.
Franco: nog magnification. The insets are the 100% crop of the camera. This cam has 3096*2080 pixels (2.44µ, just a bit undersampled for this scope), the full resolution image (even with high jpeg compression) will be huge. So I scaled down the final full disc image, but copied the insets from the original full scale image.

Rgrds,

paul
