Friday Sun 29th March 2024
Early beautiful blue skies gave way to rolling clouds and potential rain by midday. Between times, I just about managed to capture a few SER files of AR13615 at two focal lengths on my Basler acA1920 and 2440 cameras. As is more generally the case, the seeing conditions were poor, so the images are ...

Regrettably, no. I had a look through Alexandra’s SUNoculars a while ago and was really impressed, but haven’t taken the plunge.

G4 Geomagnetic Storm
Wowzer.... G4 geomagnetic storm in progress! There are likely to be some stunning aurora if it continues through the hours of darkness. My magnetometer kicked into life mid-afternoon when a CME resulting from a recent X-class solar flare struck earlier than predicted (according to Spaceweather.com)....

Sunday Sun 24th March 2024
A beautiful day, but awful seeing for the most part for anything up-close. I did manage a close view of AR13615 mid-flare and tried something a bit different to capture the full 'depth' of the event using an HDR approach, with 5 steps captured at different levels of exposure from very dim to normal....

Nice images, Dominik,
I prefer the non inverted images over the inverted ones, but that’s just me.
One comment I would make is that you might want to increase the size of the surface disk slightly prior to combining in order to cover up the white line around the limb.
