The monster active area 3614 is nearing the western limb now.
I am hoping for some clear sky in the morning for a farewell look.
In the meantime this is some of what I saw this morning.
The animation (1 Hr and 55min )is from the day before and the images from today covering AR 3614, 3615 and 3619.
A couple of nice filaments as well. See was coming and going around the average mark. 6/10
Animation and first four images are with my standard rig - Lunt 100 DS with ZWO 432 mm at F35.
The last 2 images are with my Vixen 130mm and a Quark Chromo.

Fabulous set, plus the animo.

Sadly it looks like the best spots will have gone by the time we get rid of this cloud. My 'scopes are itching!


Call me Geoff.

I do what I do because I want to, and because I can....

Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!
