The Sharon School Nov 1st

[solarchat]

anyone know what this black lop coming from the inside of the penumbral wall is on this image of the new subnspot.? i watched it grow for about 30 minutes and then fade away...all in lateral motion..

Here are a few more pics from today. The full gallery is entitled The Sharon School and is on www.solarastronomy.org






The CaK prominences were spectacular today....





Going to my last (third) school of the week tomorrow.

Excellent pictures Stephen, the sun looks like a hairy fireball! The CaK picture is absolutely phenomenal

Rusty, your picture is great too, although perhaps a little dark on my screen but all the detail is there despite the windy conditions.

Stephen, NOAA forecasts a 50% chance of flares in this AR1339, which rotated a little more since your images. Here goes some animations (it is painfully fun to do this!!) from this same region. Your Ca-K images are superb! Mine were captured in a very bad seeing condition, so lots (an I mean lots) of artifacts of processing. Anyway, sunny loops!
