Wednesday Full Disk - 7th August

Post by marktownley »

Really is very little happening today, the small flux region is still bright but aint really doing anything, indeed it and the other 2 demure areas of turbulent plasma just seem to mark boundary points of an equatorial extension of the southern polar coronal hole. Apart from that the filaments and proms are virtually none existent. Usual FD set up, Lunt 50, Daystar Quark, telecompressor and GH3 camera.

Here's the AIA193 image that shows the brighter points in relation to the coronal hole.
