Sun images from Melbourne Australia 30 December 2022

Post by Averton »

We had unexpectedly good weather for imaging and viewing this morning. There was plenty of activity showing on the Sun. A new active region in the NE with two large sun spots just coming around the limb (AR3180). Plus two very large impressive prominences on the east and NE. We haven't quite finished processing our close up images yet ... busy day :)

Very nice pictures.


I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.
