Sol FD WL 2022.06.09

Post by nicosolcy »

A lonely AR with sunspots this morning, sprung up from nowhere! Should be AR 3029 if I am not mistaken.

Humidity was a whopping 78% this morning, which meant I had to push my Gain from the usual 100 - 110 to nearly 200 to punch through the haze.

Anxious to see if 3014 shows up and still active (should rotate to view from far side of the sun in a couple of days, fingers crossed!).

Wowzers! Love it with the sun - blink and you miss it, was blank when I went to bed last night :lol: Going to head out with the sunoculars shortly to check it out.

Nice disk Nick, thanks!

Cheers Mark! I have the Celestron "Sunoculars" but the detail provided is tiny due to image scale (low magnification).

But it is certainly better than lugging out a scope for a quick look!
