Some Minor Activity (Plages) | Dec 23rd 2019

Post by MalVeauX »

Heya,

It's been a hot minute, weather has been poor, rained today even. Also there just hasn't been much happening in the chromosphere. Today there's a few interesting plages, I counted around 6 total plages overall in various places, but two were more significant than the others, belching out some filaments around the areas. The one near the limb is particularly bright with some potential minor flaring activity happening, perhaps signs of some activity to come? Seeing was poor, so this was captured at 120mm aperture.

Happy holidays to everyone for another great trip around our local star!
