Hi all

Some more Solar images from today. All taken through my Lunt Ha 60 scope with my DMK31 - processed in Registax5.

Image 1 - AR 1117, lots of sunspots in this area with a good filament too - the bright bit changed over the course of the day - possible flaring?

Image 2 - AR 1115, the largest sunspot on the Sun at the moment and a hint of the penumbral area.

Image 3 - AR 1113, small sunspot and a tad boring but it was there!

Thanks for looking.

Great images Matt. Plenty of surface detail. That first active region does look like it is flaring up.

Very nice Matt. It's very interesting to see the detail in AR 1117 - it looks quite complex through the eyepiece, but much more detail in your image. Quite fascinating.

Excellent as usual Matt!

Nothing but clouds and drizzle here today, so thanks for posting.

Very nice work Matt, the filament in image 1 looks great, be interesting to see how this region develops.

Thanks for the views.
