Hightlights from todays Session April 24th, Ca K, H Alpha, AR13645 & Co, + Todays Massive Prominence !

Good Day All !

I Was playing a little today with another Calcium filter arrangment, a bit broader banded than the previous sessions Ca K images...

Caught some H Alpha but the seeing started slipping just as I got things going.

That huge prom in the eyepiece today was just amazing Wow, hope some of you got the chance !

A couple coronal holes inching thier way in now killing some of the activity in the left quad, maybe they'll move to the farside and leave us all alone with any luck.


Was a blast though indeed, Sun they say again tomorrow so we'll see what happens,

Best of Luck out there My Friends !
