Solar Imaging Session _- February 25, 2022

The sky this lunchtime is partly cloudy but seeing is good. AR2955 and AR2954 Sunspot Groups are the only prominent group visible on the Sun's disk. No big prominences except for some small ones around the Sun's limb. I was able to capture all 3 wavelengths this session.

Solar Imaging Session - February 20, 2022

The sky this morning is partly cloudy and hazy! AR2938 Sunspot Group is the biggest of the small groups visible on the solar disk. A beautiful long and twisting dark filament can be seen hurling out of small AR2936 Sunspot Group. There are 3 large eruptive prominences on the solar limb with the NE one brighter while another huge but fainter eruptive prominence can be seen in the NW limb. I wasn't able to do CaK wavelength imaging as got clouded out :(

Lunar Imaging Session - February 11, 2022

The sky this evening is partly clear but seeing condition is very good. I use a Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera with Borg 76ED refractor at 500mm f/6.5 to image the Waxing Gibbous Moon with 1/1000 sec exposure at ISO 200 mounted on Vixen Porta II mount.

Solar Imaging Session - February 6, 2022

The sky this morning is partly cloudy andnseeing condition is poor. AR2939 Sunspot Group still maintain its size more or less as well as AR2940 Sunspot Group. AR2941 Sunspot Group is growing a little in features and spots. The remnants of huge SE eruptive prominence is still visible which I missed last night its peak. I got clouded out at the end of my session so I missed out imaging in CaK wavelength.

Solar Imaging Session - February 4, 2022

The sky this afternoon is partly clear and seeing condition is very good. AR2936 Sunspot Group is nearing the NW limb and still a beauty to look at and image specially in Ha wavelength as it unleashed a beautiful Filaprom to the limb! New AR2939 Sunspot Group is also set to replace AR2936 Sunspot Group as the next big sunspot to monitor in tje days to come. A new AR2941 Sunspot Group is emerging out of the NE limb and may grow in size as it enters the solar limb as well as AR2940 Sunspot Group. Thwre is also a huge hedgerow prominence visible in the SE limb.
