Solar Today

The sun has been very quiet for some time but there is usually some prominence activity even if minor. Taken the tip from Merlin 66 ( Ken ) I dragged the modded PST out for a look today and imaged a couple of the proms . Nothing amazing but just good to see something while waiting for the next Solar Max.

You must have a different sun to us in the UK, no wait, I remember seeing it about a month ago
