The Official Imaging the Sun Thread

Martin, is the animation not working, or is it very subtle? I can't see it on Flickr.

Sorry, Flickr is very weird with GIFs.

Here's the full resolution animation on my Astrobin:

Very best,

Much better, and very cool!

Cheers!

Not much sizzling other than a pretty nice big prominence grouping. Had a little time with it this morning. Presented in hydrogen alpha & calcium k line.

That's the beauty of our dynamic star, ever changing, daily! Always something new happening in our universal camp fire.

Very best,

Not a lot going on today. There's a fair prominence on the limb, but no sunspots and no major other features. However, with enough resolution one can see smaller features in various wavelengths. Convection cells, spicules, fibrils, filaments, prominence are represented in high resolution from an 8 inch aperture.

A new AR has arrived with a nice sunspot in tow. AR2740. Lots of limb activity coming with it. Presented in HA, WL & CaK in several scales.

AR2740 continues with its visible sunspot and some lovely prominences at the limb. Limited weather today, so I only managed a single capture at small scale.

These are incredible! Thanks for sharing.

A new sunspot is rotating the limb right now. We will have two sunspots for the next 12 days roughly, if they last. They're rather good spots with both visible umbra & penumbra. AR2740 & likely to be AR2741 designation. Presented in hydrogen alpha & calcium k.

Martin, as usual, excellent captures.

A couple from Tue 7th May 2019 in White Light using the Baader 3.8 Astrophotography Film.

Cheers

Really nice photosphere Dennis! Excellent resolution!

Very best,

Looking deep into AR2740 in red wavelength. Red allows you to see deeper into the spot and find structures, as there's generally shallow structures and the deeper black core where temperatures are much cooler than the surrounding structure as magnetic fields whirl around it with material flinging all around the lines. Presented in white light for the photosphere, hydrogen alpha & calcium K for the chromosphere from an 8" F21 solar scope. Small scales provided of both AR2740 & AR2741 from an 80mm F21 solar scope.
