04/22/24 Sun in CaK, so many spots!

Hey all, hope you're well

A very clear day today, I only saw a few fluffies in my travels. Still, it was cold, my truck informed me it was at the most 11C (50ish F) at best. Even cooler in the shade!

I got in just after 1:30 and waited for the Sun to clear my tree. You really notice the path of the Sun over the course of a year when you're a long time Solarhead.

I've been doing Solar since 2016, and I have never seen so many numbered spots on the Sun at one time. 16 at the moment; it would have been 17 but AR3641 rotated off to the right by the time I got all this. And there's also two spots to the bottom right of AR3639 which have yet to be numbered.

And that's me for today. I wanted to get out my W/L scope and see if my 90mm HA scope would work with my SolarQuest mount (it might be a weight thing), but I have a few things to do, so it'll have to be hopefully the next clear day.

Clear skies to you all, and all the best

Great images Mark. Overcast in my neck of the woods today. Always good to view your images, especially as the Sun is so active.

Many thanks.
