Solar Imaging Session - February 19. 2011 ( New AR11162 Sunspot Group develops beside AR11161 !!!)

After a short sleep when I return to Manila from Baguio City this early morning, I quickly setup for solar imaging session this morning and was surprised to see a new AR11162 Sunspot Group developed fully beside AR11161 Sunspot Group ! It was a nice pair to view and image as both contains nice structure core. Aside from the 2 groups, I could still see AR11158 Sunspot Group about to depart near the SW limb.

In Ha light, all 3 sunspot groups exhibit good solar activity inside its cores. This is good because I would be able to show the Sun tomorrow to the participants at the opening ceremony of the 3rd Philippine Astronomy Convention at Manila Planetarium both in white light and Ha light :) See you all there!
