I use a Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera on Borg 76ED Refractor mounted on Vixen GPDX mount to image the partial lunar eclipse from 1:45am PST to 5:15am PST before I got obstructed by the building . Maximum eclipse of 12.2% occurred at 4:14am PST.

AR3460 Sunspot Group is nearing the western limb. Not much flaring activity on the 2 big groups while there is also a nice large hedgerow prominence in the SW limb.

Solar Imaging Session - October 8, 2023

The sky this afternoon is hazy and seeing condition is poor. AR3452 Sunspot Group is the biggest group on the solar disk as well as AR3460 Sunspot Group. They are of moderate size to be honest. All is quiet with only a large SW Hedgerow Prominence as the biggest prominence on the disk. The rest of the Sunspot groups are small.
