Coronado SolarMax II 60 DS. 16x, 21.5x and 33x ( Ha )
I can see 4 fragments of the arc-shaped filament that is now entering the SW quadrant. I can also see a v shaped filament near the SE limb underneath a double prom located there. I can see two fainter filaments south and west of the north pole.
Prominences look good today. I see a forest of them on the SE limb. The southernmost pair look like devil's horns curving inward. I see a number of proms northward of the " Devil prom ". One is bright and looks treelike. It's surrounded by a number of fainter proms. The NW limb shows a long bright prom. At lower power it reminds me of the flame on the long wicked candles I burn. Going to a little more magnification I can see a brighter central part with a loop of plasma being thrown up over it!
I can see a faint plage in the SE quadrant.
The mottles show good contrast today across the solar disc.
Orion 70mm Solar Telescope. 25x, 50x, 62.5x and 100x ( WL )
Despite the good seeing I can see no detail at all except for the discwide solar granulation. I looked for faculae, including polar faculae but came up empty handed. No spots or pores either.
Carpe Lumen!
