AR3071, AR3074 and AR3076 taken today 2022.08.08

Post by MichaelTeoh »

This was my first imaging session since May 20. The weather has been bad for the last 2.5 months. Woke up this morning to a clear blue sky. Finished my breakfast quickly and headed to the observatory. By the time I was ready to start imaging, huge patches of cloud started to roll in. Waited for one hour, almost gave up, but surprisingly the fast moving clouds started to clear up. Transparency was good once the clouds were gone, but the seeing was changing rapidly. Despite the poor result, at least something after so long.

Thanks all.

Missing out on some large sunspot groups and prominences in the past few weeks was very frustrating. I was so jealous about those who got them lol.
