Solar Imaging Session - June 29, 2018

Had a very busy day and I arrived home very late in the afternoon but nevertheless, I proceeded to image the Sun. Yesterday's large hedgerow prominence in the SE limb is still there but had started to collapse a bit. There is also a faint eruptive prominence just above the SE hedgerow prominence which is hard to image as low in contrast. Aside from this 2 prominences, the large filament is still visible and now is nearing the western limb as well. No sunspot groups are visible.

Lunar Imaging Session - June 28, 2018

The Full Moon or the Strawberry Moon this evening is beautiful and I can't resist not imaging it with my Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera with Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS L lens set at 400mm f/11 at 1/800sec at ISO 200 on sturdy tripod.

Solar Imaging Session - June 28, 2018

The sky this afternoon is clear and seeing condition is very good. Departing AR2715 Sunspot Group is very silent as it nears the western limb. There is a long Filament visible faintly following AR2715 Sunspot Group vicinity. There are 2 beautiful large prominences visible in the NE and SE limb . I was also able to image boring AR2715 Sunspot Group in white light as well.

Solar Imaging Session - June 23, 2018

The sky this afternoon is hazy and seeing condition is poor. AR2715 Sunspot Group is very active and has a lots of flaring activity inside its core. Departing AR2713 Sunspot Group is a bit quiet as it nears the western limb. I wasn't able to image in white light as clouds started to cover up the Sun. :( Better luck again tomorrow.

Solar Imaging Session - June 3, 2018

The sky this afternoon is clear and seeing condition is good. AR2712 Sunspot Group is nearing the NW limb but still producing some nice flaring activity inside its core. There is also a large hedgerow prominence visible int he SE limb. A huge, long plage is also developing in the NE quadrant that might develop into an active region in the days to come.

Solar Imaging Session - May 29, 2018

The sky this afternoon is a bit cloudy and I initially thought that it is another bad day for solar imaging. But after a hard rain, the sky started to open up a bit but unfortunately, the Sun is starting to get low in the western horizon but I still proceeded to do a short imaging session on the new AR2712 Sunspot Group as well as a nice large Hedgerow prominence in the SE limb. Seeing condition is poor as expected because of the Sun's low elevation already but I'm still happy with the result nevertheless.

Solar Imaging Session - May 14, 2018

The sky this afternoon is partly cloudy and I have to fight the clouds for almost 3 hours under the heat if the Sun to get some decent shot of the Sun in Ha wavelength. 2 sunspot groups are visible with AR2709 Sunspot Group the slightly more prominent one than the departing AR2708 Sunspot Group which is near the western limb already. Both in white light are quite small and very inconspicious with pore light structure only. 2 nice prominences are visible in the NW and SW limb. There is also a possible new active region developing in between AR2709 and 2708 Sunspot Groups as it has some plage developing. I also use my old reliable TV-101 refractor for this session as it has been a very long while since I had used it so its a good time to let it taste the heat of the Sun once again.
