Solar Imaging Session - July 16, 2026

The sky this morning is clear and seeing condition is good. AR4482 Region is near the western limb already and probably will exit tomorrow. AR4489 Region is steady in size so far while a new AR4490 Region is growing north of AR4489 Region. There is also another new possible small AR4491 Region emerging from the SE limb as well. In Ha, all groups are quiet so far and there are 2 beautiful twisting long dark filament on the Sun's disk .

My July 1, 2026 Ha image of AR4478 Region got mentioned by David J. Eicher :)

The sky this morning is very hazy and some clouds also hovering on the Sun! Add to that I wake up late this morning so I had to do quickie shots before I get obstructed by parking area roofdeck! Seeing condition is also poor this morning. AR4482 Region is nearing the western limb while AR4489 Region is entering more from the eastern limb.

The sky this morning is clear but very hazy. After almost a week of bad weather, today's session is a blessing and seeing condition is also very good. AR4482 Region is past midway across the disk and is nearing the western limb. On the meantime, a new AR4489 Region is entering the eastern limb and will definitely replace AR4482 Region as the biggest group on the Sun's disk. No big prominences are visible on the Sun's limb.

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.
