The Dutch Observatory

Today its very windy (19 m/h +) and broken clouds, so the clouds follow each other very rapidly. Not much time to image in between.  In addition the temperature was cold at 10:00 around 38 degrees, but here is my image from today.  A hugh prominance at the south eastern limb.  AR1130 is leaving the visible side of the sun, the large one is AR1131.  AR1132 developed in the center of the sun and 1133 came from the ”backside” into view.

My origin is in the Netherlands.  Today they celebrate Sinterklaas in the Netherlands and it is custom that presents are being given to family members.  I sent a T-Shirt with the image of the ISS-Sun transit which was used on this year’s Peach State Star Gaze shirt to my niece’s partner Martin, who is also an amateur astronomer.  He was really surprised to receive this package from the Peach State!  Here Martin in his Peach State T-Shirt.  He can truely say that he is the only one in the Netherlands or maybe in Europe who has a shirt like this.
