December 24 2021 Observations. Quick WL 8x32 SUNocular Session

Post by DeepSolar64 »

Session time is a very brief time around 16:40 UTC. The sky is almost overcast and the temperature is 48F ( 8.8C ) The Sun was observed from my daughter Sarah's house in Weaverville N.C.


Lunt 8x32 SUNoculars. ( WL )
I can see a total of six spots on the Sun through a thin layer of high clouds. Two easy spots in AR12916 in the SE with the westernmost spot being really easy. The NE shows two spots in AR12918. AR12915 well to the west shows a single difficult spot. AR12917 SW of AR12916 shows a single difficult spot.

The clouds never gave me a second change to get another look at the western limb to try again for spots in the AR12907-08-09 complex.

Merry Christmas to All!!

James

Thanks James.
Quite a few changes over the next 24-hours from what we have seen recently.

Flares may well continue..

Thanks James, at least you managed to view :hamster: we are still stuck under this eternal cloud blanket which is depressing, when will it ever end?

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas

I was hoping you would have sunny skies for Christmas. :-(

Christmas went fine for me just too busy!
