Solar Imaging Session - December 22, 2011 (Numerous Huge Long Dark Filaments & Large Prominences !!!)

The sky this morning is clear and I was able to do some solar imaging both in Ha and white light. Seeing condition though is not good though :( In Ha wavelength, AR11377/76 Sunspot Group is nearing the NW limb and still very active in its core and is also close to a large group of eruptive prominences! AR11382/81 Sunspot Group, on the other hand, is also getting longer in length but show only some solar activity inside its core. AR11384 Sunspot Group is growing rapidly in structure as well as size so this will probably be the center of attention in the days to come. Small AR11383 Sunspot Group is very silent :(

In white light wavelength, AR11384 Sunspot Group is a joy to look at but the seeing condition prevented me from getting a very good shot of the sunspot groups at high resolution. AR11382/81 Sunspot Group is very long but has a nice main core as well as several small umbral core structures. Departing AR11377/76 Sunspot Group is also very nice to look at as well.
