Solar Imaging Session - April 30, 2024

The sky this afternoon is clear and seeing condition is good. AR3654 Region is nearing the western limb and is quite silent. I was also able to to test out ZWO EAF on my Borg 76ED Refractor and allows me to get better focus and no need for me to stretch out my hand out on the focuser knob. Another very hot day today!

Solar Imaging Session - April 27, 2024

The sky this afternoon is clear and seeing is fair. But it was a very hot day as the Quark cant get into on band because of high temperature even if I try to cover the already barbecued Quark! So I had to settle into an off band shot of AR3654 Region :( Need to make a cardboard Sunshield I think to remedy this problem. Nevertheless, Im still OK.

The sky this lunchtime is clear and seeing condition is fair. AR3639 as well as the swarm group of AR3643, 3645, 3637 and 3638 region are the larger groups on the Sun's disk but the attention is focused on the huge SE eruptive prominence that shows the eruptive prominence erupting 2x during lunchtime and late afternoon but the late afternoon eruption is a little short lived.
