Solar Imaging Session - July 30, 2026

The sky this afternoon is slightly hazy but seeing condition is good. AR4498 Region is starting grow in size. AR4496 Region is also large while AR4492 Region is statying to exit into the NW limb. In Ha wavelength, AR4498 Region is slightly active in flaring activity while exiting AR4492 Region has a beautiful huge long twisting Dark Filament that is ejecting out from it. There is also a beautiful Huge Group of Eruptive Prominences in the NE limb.

Lunar Imaging Session - July 29, 2026

The sky this evening is cloudy and I was able to take a shot of the Full Moon through light clouds using my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Stack of 20 images at 1/250sec exposure at Gain 0.

The sky this afternoon is very hazy and cloudy while seeing condition is also poor. AR4493 Region is still the dominant region on the Sun while the rest of the other 3 groups are very quiet. Had a hard time imaging the active regions because of the thick haze and poor seeing condition. Anyway, still better than nothing at all as this morning is clouded out and I wasn't even expecting to image the Sun.

Solar Imaging Session - July 22, 2026

The sky this morning is very hazy and cloudy and I was only able to get some images of the Sun in white light wavelength only under poor seeing condition. I reattempt to capture again after lunch but the seeing condition through white light wavelength continues to be poor. AR4493 Region continues to develop its core structure and AR4492 Region is also starting to grow as well. AR4489 Region is decaying while AR4494 Region doesn't look like it will grow big as I was hoping. In Ha wavelength, AR4493 Region continues to be active in its flaring activity while the rest of the regions are quiet.
