Sun Active Regions from Melbourne 26/2/2022

[Averton]

Again the clouds didn't leave til late in the day and the wind had also come up providing really ordinary seeing. The sun was really just a tale of two spots, AR2954 and AR2955. These first images were taken with the Lunt 40 and ASI224MC with a 2.5x barlow.

These ones were taken using a 6" SCT and an ASI224MC.

The last two were also taken with the 6"SCT and ASI224MC but with the addition of a 2.5x barlow. This was really pushing the seeing conditions to the limit.

Great result, Clare and Peter. The textured surface really pops.

Thanks Steve.

Love your work. 100% cloud here this morning after raining half the night. :(

[Averton]

Thanks Bob. Unfortunately we too have had clouds for the past two days and haven't seen the sun :(
