Sun in Ha, CaK and WL 26th Feb 2021

Post by Carbon60 »

We had a beautiful blue sky morning this morning, although the seeing conditions from my location were very variable, probably mostly down to local effects from the terrain and buildings.

Anyhow, a chance to see the main feature, AR2804, for myself, so here's a mix of FDs and closer views of the active region in mono and colour, across the spectrum.

It's so nice to see some activity for a change.

Thanks for looking.

Stu.
