Sun in CaK and Ha- 5th May 2021
A couple of FDs in Ca II K and Ha and closer view of the new magnetically disturbed region close to the eastern limb captured this morning on my front driveway. I almost didn't bother as the morning started with a covering of cloud and so I began with a few jobs in the garden. However, seeing it clearing from the west, I downed tools and set up on the drive waiting for the blue to arrive.

Fun over... it was back to moving a tonne of slate chippings, concreting in some posts, cutting the grass......
Thanks for looking.

The edge of the HA image is just awesome. I never get the edge as well defined as that, then again im using 0.5 angstrom so i might as well wish for aliens flying past!

Yes Stu, you have capture and produced some excellent close-ups of the fairly bland AR.

Nice results Stu! I had a go yesterday morning just after 6am, but everything was conspiring against me, need to have a look later on and see if I have anything salvageable from it
