4th Dec ... 3 consec days of sunspots

Post by JohnW »

4th Dec... 3 consecutive days of sunspots.
I managed 3 good days in a row to record the position of the sun's sunspots. The areas of interest are mainly on the eastern limb.
All single exposures with a Canon 550d camera attached to an 81 mm WO refractor, herschel wedge set at 540 nm.
Note: There is actually a small group of spots between AR 3155 and 3156 that are yet to be numbered (see second and third images).
Thanks for viewing. I've placed a couple of Ha shots in a separate entry.

Thank you everybody for your comments - the unnumbered sunspot group seen in the last 2 images has now been given AR3158.
Cheers all, John W.
