AR2781 Nov 4, 2020

I was cleaning out my captures this morning when I came across a shot of AR2781 just coming around the SE limb. I decided to zoom it in (a bunch) and tilt the perspective... My reason for doing that was the nice spicules jumping off the limb. (Spicules jump out of the photosphere into the chromosphere and don't last very long.)

Thanks for the peek.:)

Hi John. A nice AR2781 image with the spicules and lots of granularity. Although AR2782 was a dud, we now have AR2783 on the south east solar disc.

I really like the "view angle" (for lack of a better term) and the detail is stunning! Well done and congrats on the APOD; well deserved!

All the best,
