Re: Feb19, 2024 - Another massive Active Region 3590
thank you.
Scopes; Tiny little Mak-Cass Celestron c90 spotter scope that lets me count the moons of Jupiter and with which I can see Saturns rings in Mickey Mouse phase
Old Meade 1000mm f/11 that was missing the finder scope and ring so I rigged one onto the barrel using duct tape and a bit of cardboard and that actually works and I can count the moons of Jupiter with this one too.
Meade 6" reflector,(really elderly), found at a yard sale, the tube is a bucket of rust and corroded mirror but the mount and tripod will be recoverable so hooray for that.
Cameras; Mamiya medium format 645 with a couple of polaroid backs and a series of wide angle to 50mm lenses
Konica-Minolta 35mm,Sony alpha dslr's, up to the a900 full frame, mostly got them used because I don't have much money.

Clear skies here from sunrise to a bit after 1PM. Guess who got in at 1:30?
Hopefully tomorrow for me, and hopefully you get off some shots as well!
All the best,

Re: Feb19, 2024 - Another massive Active Region 3590
Sadly, I didn't have my camera with me, but I still think it is pretty cool seeing a sunspot easily naked-eye.
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Yep, that was AR3590 you were seeing.DeanD wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 3:05 am I was watching the sunset last night, and there was a lot of high-altitude hazy clouds to the west, so the sun was a pale orange ball: with a nice, naked eye black dot...

Re: Feb19, 2024 - Another massive Active Region 3590
I was checking the farside images today because of a couple clear sky days ahead here and it looks like this AR is still active and strong, one source reporting a 4th time around is very possible and that was before the strengthening seen in todays model.
Maybe it will be the transiting AR on The Day, who knows but its an awesome day today to image it if you have a remote rig on Mars
