Active region 1024

[tornado33]

The first sunspot activity Ive seen for over a year. Houghly alerted me to it yestarday. It rapidly grew on the Soho continum images.

I imaged it yesterday arvo in horrible seeing. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, 450D camera, 10xISO200 images aligned and stacked in Iris. Thousand Oaks full aperature solar filter.

Nice work Scott – its been ages since I’ve seen a full solar disc with a visible sunspot! Aye, I hear ya about the seeing – I tried again this morning and I thought that I had faulty optics as I just couldn’t get a sharp image!

Cheers

Looking good Scott,

Nice to finally see some activity, the Sun has just been sooo quite.
Very nice image and well resolved detail.

Well done

Yep a sweet spot this one. I am going to try imaging it tomorrow if I get time. It is large enough to bother imaging. Nice image Scott. Good detail given the conditions. There is granulation in your image and that is nice to see.
