Sun images of May 9

Post by krakatoa1883 »

Seeing continues to be all but good, we are still waiting for an anticyclone (any would be good) that seems having no intention to arrive. Heavy storms are expected for the next three days so I have used at least this morning for taking few images in WL, CaK and H.
AR12822 evolved to class C with 15 spots inside plus several pores, the leader spot has a well developed penumbra. Another active region started to emerge close to the E limb south of 12822, this morning was only a couple of pores, few minutes ago there were two tiny but well defined spots. Thanks for looking.

Always a pleasure to see your images Raf, I particularly like the first mod shot, I should find the time to get my Lunt50 working again...
