The Dutch Observatory

Following a day of cloudy skies, the sun showed his face again.  Today, at the beginning of Carington Rotation 2118,  in addition to the active regions 1366,74 and 75 a large new active region to be named.  The prominences at the western limb are not very tall but I observed a small flare as it grew and collapsed. 

Thin cumulus clouds streaking by the sun today with the result that I was unable to use the data captured for the very low proms today.  Registax 5 even had problems with that data today.  The full sun disk image does show a relative quiet sun today.

Faint clouds moved through this morning making for unstable skies, but good enough to image the Sun.  A set of prominences at the Western limb and one at the SE limb.  Full sun image and closeup of the western limb.

This morning the sky was clear, but a little unstable.  But sufficient time to find a slot where it was relative steady.  Today an whole disk image of the sun with AR1362,63,64,66,72,74 and 75 and a closeup of the Eastern limb of the sun with a nice prominence.  A pretty busy sun

The first day in a while where the clouds were on the way out.  However, during the 1 hour session, it was hard to find sufficient frames of quality to come up with a decent image.  Barely made it for a regular image of the sun.  Hope that tomorrow it will be a lot better.

Another Sunny day.  The prominence I imaged yesterday has turned to the backside of the Sun or disappeared, but several nice prominences are visible today.  I selected the one at the south eastern limb for the closeup today.  It is faint but nicely formed at the time I did image it.  At the opposite limb another dense prom was also visible. 

Today the dark filaments which surrounded AR1355. and 56 start to show up as prominences at the western limb of the sun as a long streched hedge row prom.  Some nice prominences are forming and extending in the NE quadrant of the FOV.  Not much activity but nice view to observe.

I was wondering this morning if the large prominence was still visible at the eastern limb.  See how lucky I was yesterday to see it,  today it was gone.  The sun looked a lot quieter without these massive plama towers.  Today a whole disk image and a closeup of the prom/filament around AR1363
