Solar Imaging Session - November 10, 2026

The sky this late afternoon is partly cloudy and seeing condition is poor. I was able to get full disk whitelight with fair condition. AR4566 Region is the biggest group on the disk right now followed by AR4568 Region. Seeing condition started to worsen as the Sun is getting low on the SW horizon already but I was able to still get the AR4566 and AR4568. In Ha wavelength, the seeing condition further worsen even more as image looks like jelly bean and very difficult to focus and image. But I still proceeded to image the 2 regions despite bad condition for data recording only.

Solar Imaging Session - November 7, 2026

The sky this late afternoon is partly clear and seeing condition is fair. I was planning to do a solar imaging session but unfortunately, I discover that my power station has no power and all drained up. Darn! So I just use my trusty Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with Solar Filter at AZ Mode with stack of 20 images at 1/1600 sec exposure at Gain 0. Hope to get a Good session tomorrow morning before going to Sunday Service.

Solar Imaging Session - October 27, 2026

The sky this afternoon cleared a bit after light rain had passed and I was able to do a quickie image of the almost bare Sun in white light wavelength using my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with Solar Filter at AZ Mode with stack of 20 images at 1/2000 sec exposure at Gain 0. There are only 2 pore like sunspots designated as AR4562 and AR4563 Regions. These 2 small pore group prevented the Sun to be another zero sunspot day :)

Lunar Imaging Session - October 26, 2026 (Part 2)

The sky this evening is clear but slightly hazy. I image the Full Moon once again as Full Moon peaked at around lunchtime so it's an in between time from the 1am PST I imaged as well as this evenjng at around 7:04pm PST. Image was taken using Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode with stack of 50 images at 1/1000sec exposure at Gain 0.

Lunar Imaging Session - October 26, 2026

The sky after midnight is cloudy but I got to image the Full Moon through a small cloud opening before it got covered again. I use my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode with stack of 20 images at 1/1000sec exposure at Gain 0.

Solar Imaging Session - October 21, 2026

The sky this afternoon is clear and seeing condition is good. AR4551 Region is about to exit the SW limb while AR4560 and AR4557 Regions continue to gradually grow in structure. In Ha wavelength, both AR4560 and AR4557 Regions have moderate flaring activity inside their core. A nice large faint Ejection Prominence can also be seen in the SW limb.

Solar Imaging Session - October 19, 2026

The sky this afternoon is partly clear after a heavy downpour after lunchtime but seeing condition is still poor. AR4551 Region is nearing the SW limb while AR4557 Region continues to slowly grow in structure. In Ha wavelength, both AR4551 and AR4557 Regions show moderate flaring activity.
