Solar Imaging Session - August 15, 2026

Finally after almost 2 weeks of continuous rain, there is some clearing in the afternoon for me to do a solar imaging session again through partly cloudy sky despite seeing a half arc Sun Halo which signifies a not good weather later in the afternoon or evening again :( Fortunately, with some patience on my part to wait it out a bit and I was able to get some good clearing through thin haze after an hour wait! AR4507 Region is the largest group on the Sun's disk right now followed by a slightly smaller AR4508 Region which looks nice as well. The rest of the active regions are small and pore like groups. In Ha wavelength, all active regions are quiet and only the huge eruptive prominence in the SW limb and a smaller but still large prominence can also be seen in the eastern limb are nice to view visually after my imaging session. After I packed up, it rained! Whew! :) LOL

Solar Imaging Session - August 1, 2026

The sky this lunchtime is partly clear with thin clouds hovering the sky. I did a quickie solar session as I saw a Sun Halo around the Sun thus indicating the weather later might get bad or even rain. Seeing condition is good though. AR4498 Region and AR4500 Region are getting bigger a bit while AR4499, AR4501 and AR4496 Regions remain constant in size. In Ha wavelength, AR4498 Region shows some flaring activity inside its structure. Rest of the active regions are quiet. There is a nice large group of Hedgerow prominence in the NE limb.

Solar Imaging Session - July 31, 2026

The sky this morning is cloudy but I got a short cloud opening for me to image the Sun before I got obstructed by the tall building beside our place. Seeing condition surprisingly is very good despite the very cloudy sky ! AR4498 Region continues to grow and together beside the smaller AR4500 Region is a nice close pair of active region in the NE quadrant. AR4492 Region is near the NW limb already while AR4496, AR4499 and AR4501 Regions are stable and quiet. In Ha wavelength, the Huge Eruptive Prominence in the NW limb eclipse the beauty of AR4498 Region as well as the beautiful long twisting Dark Filament that is ejecting out of departing AR4492 Region.
