05/04/2010 - sun this morning

Sky was clear so thought I would grab a few shots of the Sun before work intrudes... hard to get an image of the Sun from my place until well after work starts and the window closes about 4 hours before I get home :sadeyes:

Haven't processed the images yet though.

Thanks Jeanette, Andrew,

I notice on the SOHO site that there is another sunspot deceloping around the central meridian in the nothern(?) hemisphere. Hopefully it will still be around when I next get an opportunity to image the Sun.

I was sort of expecting that Sunspot 1060 was going to fade... still maybe it could redevelop :prey:

Very well presented Tony. Solar activity is quite unpredicable at present. Some of the larger ARs are fading then increasing again, great to watch....
