150 Days of Sun: Growing Activity
150 Days of Sun: Growing Activity
I imaged the sun for 150 days in a row, from 25th December 2020 to 23rd May 2021. This image shows a side-by-side comparison among all the sunspot regions that had appeared in the three phases (each of 50 days) during this period. The left image shows the sunspot regions that appeared between 25th December 2020 to 12th February 2021, the centre image showing sunspots between 13th February 2021 to 3rd April 2021 and the image on the right captures the sunspots between 4th April 2021 to 23rd May 2021.
The growing number of sunspots in the images from left to right clearly shows the growing activity in the solar disk and this an indication that the Solar Cycle 25 is gaining momentum.
Gear: Nikon D5600, Sigma 150-600c, Thousand Oaks Solar Filter (white-light)
Processing: PIPP, Adobe Camera Raw, Photoshop
Date: 25th December 2020 to 23rd May 2021
Location: Kolkata, India

150 days!
Wow I'm lucky if I get 2 days in a row and more than a handful a month!

Call me Geoff.
I do what I do because I want to, and because I can....
Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!

Sorry to hear about that Geoff. In my case, there has been a number of days when the sun would appear only for a minute in the whole day and I had to wait for hours to get an image.

Re: 150 Days of Sun: Growing Activity
That's a really interesting presentation. First the south dominates, then the north, now both are in action.

Re: 150 Days of Sun: Growing Activity
Thank you Peter! We have had a really long run for the sun here. With the monsoon approaching, this will soon end.
