Promtastic Sunday - 8th September

Post by marktownley »

The suns disk is blank, really blank! not much at all is happening, but today all the action was around the limb in the form of prominences. There were lovely sets on both limbs in the northern hemisphere. This image has an inverted disk with a limb composite, taken with the Coronado SM90ii and the PGR Grasshopper camera.

I love it when you folks get to the sun before us in the west US. It’s my ‘weather report ‘.

Nice work in the capture.

You guys often have some images posted before I get my scope out to look. You give me a very good idea what to look for. I also use the GONG network and SDO images.
