Dec 20th Sun activity

Post by JohnW »

20th Dec ... Sun. Lots of activity on the sun at the moment. Today I got my Lunt 100 Ha scope out and took this single exposure of the SE sector where most activity (sunspots, flares and filaments) was. Canon 550d single exposure. Thanks for viewing.

John,
Your image certainly backs up my visual session today! It looks like that filament below 2907 and 2908 may have grown a bit longer. I think....
