Sol ~ March 25th 2022

Blue skies all day. 

Here comes the Summer.

Blue Sky Sol ~ Hazy Seeing.

Hazy skies this morning, though still a lovely blue, solar seeing wasn't up to much.

After a major fight with the Samsung S6, I was able to capture one clear shot. 

Prominence detail was poor, the insertion of a black photoshop disc did help a bit in the final picture.

This morning's Sol images.

Blue skies this morning, that was until about midday!

Then in came the clouds, and as I write this (15h37mUT) the wind is picking up and it looks like a storm is looming.

I managed these images earlier on, so today wasn't a total solar loss.

Lots of Ha activity today. Plus as a bonus a beautiful prominence  around the 240 degree area!

Sky blue a plenty this afternoon. 

SFI hovering around 120 - SN about 77 

With the K Index currently hovering around  five  it's a good time  to keep a look out for possible aurorae! 

The Sun has definitely woken up!

Scudding clouds this morning, cleared up around midday, a beautiful afternoon for solar observing.

PST working well today, it revealed several good prominences and two big sunspot groups, and a few filaments. 

Still processing the filament pictures, will post them and a white light image tomorrow.

Here's a Sol white image from today's observing session. 

The afocal method seems fine for quick solar shots.
