The Dutch Observatory

Images taken on January 21st.  These were also the last images in CR2132 since a relative long bad weather streak was coming up.

Here the images of 2013-01-20

I’ve fallen behind in posting my solar images here in my blog. (shame on me)  So now need to catch up.  Here images of the 18th and 19th.

A clear Sky this morning.  The Sun showed 14 active regions although they were not very intense, but a very busy view.  I also finished my Baader 3.8 filter for my Celestron C11.  So today was first light for the new photo filter as I captured my first closeup of sunspot 1642 using an additional red filter. (1642 is just south of the center) I am pleased with the first result, but it also shows that I still have a lot to learn in capturing and processing these new images.

After a rainy and cloudy New Years, the sun came out again and showed its face today covered with 7 active regions, reminding us that we are in the solar high.  However, flare activity is limited to some B and C class flares.  Today a full disk image and a closeup of 1644 and 46.
