Solar Imaging Session - July 3, 2026

The sky this morning is partly cloudy but seeing condition is very good. AR4478 and AR4479 Region is nearing the western limb and probably will exit the western limb in the next few days. In Ha wavelength, AR4478 Region is very quiet while AR4479 and AR4480 Regions show some mild flaring activities in their region.

The sky today is very cloudy and honestly, should be no solar imaging for today. But late afternoon , I did see some sunlight so I try to force myself to do some imaging on the Sun to monitor AR4478 and Ar4479 Region but as expected, the sky is very cloudy and under bad seeing condition, I still force myself to take a few shots of the full disk Sun as well as white light imaging of AR4478 and AR4479 Regions. Ha imaging is impossible under this sky condition. I proceeded to image for data capture purposes. Oh well.... better to have some data than zero data :)

Solar Imaging Session - July 1, 2026

The sky this morning is partly cloudy but seeing condition is very good. AR4478 and AR4479 Regions continue to grow while the small AR4480 and AR4475 Regions are starting to exit to the western limb. In Ha wavelength, AR4478, AR4479 and AR4480 Regions show some mild flaring activity on their core. Only small prominences are visible around the solar limb.

Lunar Imaging Session - June 29, 2026

The sky this evening is very cloudy and I have to wait patiently for an hour or so to get a decent shot of the Full Moon through thin clouds before midnight using Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Stack of 20 images at 1/160 sec exposure at Gain 0.

The sky this morning is partly cloudy but seeing condition is not good. AR4478 and AR4479 Regions continue to grow in size while the rest of the smaller regions are disintegrating. NO large prominences on the Sun's disk today.

the sky this morning is cloudy amd I was able to image through cloud opening only! AR4478 Region continues to grow as well as AR4479 and AR4477 Regions. There is also a nice Large Floating Prominence on the SE limb .
