Solar Imaging Session - July 8, 2026

The sky this morning is clear and seeing condition is very good. AR4482 Region continues to grow in size. AR4485 and possible AR4486 Regions are also starting to grow as well. In Ha wavelength, AR4485 Region despite showing pore like structure only shows a lot of flaring activity while AR4482 Region is very quiet. There is also a beautiful Group of Eruptive Prominences that can be seen in the NW limb. Also several nice Dark Filament can also be seen near the central meridian of the Sun.

Solar Imaging Session - July 7, 2026

The sky this morning is hazy and seeing condition is good. AR4482 Region is the only big group on the Sun right now after AR4478 and AR4479 Regions exited the western limb. In Ha wavelength, The huge NE Caterpillar Prominence is still visible as well as a moderate size prominence near AR4482 Region in the SE limb.

Solar Imaging Session - July 6, 2026

The sky this morning is clear and seeing condition is good. AR4479 Region is almost on the NW limb already while AR4478 Region is also near the western limb as well. AR4482 Region continues to grow in size as it starts to exit the Wilson Effect from the SE limb. In Ha wavelength, AR4479 Region still want to show off its performance before it exits by spewing out another nice small FilaProm on the limb. AR4478, despite its all too quiet activity past several days , finally erupted with an initial moderate size Ejection FilaProm when I image it at around 00:34 UT (08:34 PST) and further stretch to its maximum height at around 01:00 UT (09:00 PST) before it started to collapse back slowly to the limb. Overall, another exciting session indeed!

Solar Imaging Session - July 5, 2026

The sky this morning is clear and seeing condition is good. AR4479 Region is exiting the NW limb but is putting a nice show with a beautiful FilaProm on its limb facing area! AR4478 Region has decayed a lot and also nearing the western limb as well. New AR4482 Region is entering the SE limb together as well with a beautiful looped prominence. The NE large flat top prominence has grown in size and now looks like a caterpillar hovering the NE limb. Today is indeed a prominence galore day!
