Solar Imaging Session - September 13, 2011 (6 Sunspot Groups)

The sky this morning is clear and seeing condition is better than the past weeks. AR11289 Sunspot Group is the main attraction on the solar disk with 5 more sunspot groups more or less evenly distributed on both east and western areas of the Sun.

AR11289 Sunspot Group shoes also a nice light bridge as seen clearly in white light wavelength as well as in Ha light with smaller AR11290 and AR11295 Sunspot also showing smaller light bridges as well.

There is also a nice group of eruptive prominences that is located in the Northern limb of the Sun.

This is one of the few times that I can view more than 5-6 sunspot group in a given day for the past several years already. Although they are not that big in size, it tends to excite one's appetite to look for more solar activity in the days to come.
