Re: FD AR12759
Gee this is weird; your sketches give me a strong sense of deja vu. This is much better though. Quite fabulous actually.

Re: FD AR12759
I'm a newbie. Clue me in on the system for identifying surface locations on the sun. Or put another way, explain AR11259. Thanks so much.

Re: FD AR12759
Hello Willis. AR means active region. Although things are kind of sparse right now on the sun's surface facing us, I think that you will find this link very helpful for further identification, at:
https://www.raben.com/maps/date
I hope this helps Willis, and the best of regards.

Re: FD AR12759
Thank you so much.
Better understanding now, but let's say I'm imaging a certain part of the sun. What software/process would I use to identify the location that was imaged? Maybe this is at the website you referenced but a quick look has not answered this question. I may just need to spend more time on the site.

Re: FD AR12759
I find the site I linked to below usually has all the info you need.willisobservatory wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 12:28 am Thank you so much.

For now the sun is clear so there is minimal information displayed.
Check the left hand column, you will see a graphic of the sun and any relevant AR info below that.
