Solar Imaging Session - July 20, 2024

The sky this lunchtime is partly cloudy and seeing condition is fair. The Sun is peppered with many small sunspots but I only image the 2 larger groups under AR3759 and AR3751 region only both in White Light and Ha wavelength. AR3751 region shows a lot of flaring activity as well as AR3759.

Solar Imaging Session - July 11, 2024

The sky this afternoon is very hazy but seeing condition is very good! AR3738 Region has a big sunspot group and with good seeing, the sunspot group shows beautiful symmetry and nice granulation on the solar surface. Unfortunately after imaging in white light wavelength, passing clouds started to pester me and I had to shoot through thicker haze as well as clouds across the region. I'm still glad to get a decent shot of the region in Ha wavelength despite the passing clouds. It's better than no image at all. It also shows a bright flaring event ejecting out of the sunspot group.

Solar Imaging Session - July 3, 2024

the sky this afternoon is partly cloudy and seeing condition is poor. AR3733 & AR3729 Region is large in area but contains many pore sunspots. In Ha wavelength, AR3733, AR3729, AR3727, AR3728, AR3732, AR3730, AR3722 & AR3724 regions shows lots of flaring activities. There is also a large eruptive prominence in the SE limb but I had a hard time capturing it because of passing cloudy sky as well as thick haze to the point of total overcast afterwards.

Solar Imaging Session - June 30, 2024

The sky this morning is cloudy and seeing condition is fair. AR3727 Region is still growing in size while departing AR3719 Region is nearing the SW limb. in Ha, AR3727, 3728 and 3723 region possess the most active flaring region on the Sun's surface right now. New AR3731 is growing as well as AR3729 region. Wasn't able to image AR3731 and AR3729 region in Ha as clouded out.

Solar Imaging Session - June 27, 2024

The sky this afternoon is partly cloudy and seeing condition is fair. AR3723 aka former giant AR3664 has decayed considerably and now is more pore spots remaining but taking its place near its region is AR3727 which has grow considerably as well and is coming out of its Wilson Effect from the SE limb. AR3719 region as well as AR3723 region shows a lot of flaring activities on their core structure. AR3722 and AR3724 region is almost same as before in structure and size.

Solar Imaging Session - June 25, 2024

The sky is cloudy almost the whole day and I was only able to image the Sun very late in the afternoon already thus the seeing condition is poor. AR3723 which is the 3rd passing of giant AR3664 region last May has emerge again from the SE limb and still shows some structures although it is obvious it had decayed a lot from its original passing but it has survive its 3rd passing. Its second passing end of May was designated AR3697. AR3723 shows more activity in Ha wavelength than in whitelight so hopefully, the region will increase in activity in the days to come. But the biggest sunspot on the Sun right now is not AR3723 but rather AR3719.
