Sunspots collection and evolution

[shahgazer]

Hi All,

Sunspot AR1582 (Left) and AR1579.
Taken today 27 Sep 2012 at 03:30 UT.

Sky was clean with no haze, but with some high clouds. Quiet happy with the details captured this time, after so long!

great image. I viewed and imaged these two spots today although nowhere near as much detail as this.
:thumbsup:

Hello Shah,

Very nice detail in that image. I like it a lot.

Hi Shah,
Great image, very sharp indeed. The granules are clearly visible and the details on the spots are also great.

The Sun has slowed down its activity, I wonder if we are going to have a level of activity comparable to the beggining of this year.

Thanks for posting,

Fernando

Excellent white light image. Nice colouring too.

Thanks Steve. I was rather surprise also, especially when I'm using a small 120mm refractor. :ashamed:



Thanks Ivan :thumbsup:



Thanks Fernando. I believe the superior resolution of the camera IMG132E really help in getting all the granules pop up. plus some good seeing.

I was hoping the Sun's activity will increase in time for this Nov eclipse, then we'll be in a treat to see those spectacular corona during solar max. :D




Thanks Larry. :D



Thanks Paul. :)

That looks really good - the penumbral detail is sweet!

Nicely detailed WL image and I like the colour mapping.

Thanks Andy!



Thanks Ted. Colourizing it is a bit tricky though.

Today's shot on AR1582 and AR1579

Missed yesterday's sequence due to overcast sky all day long. For this image, I did a simple flat field and remove it via AS2.

The image seems a bit soft, probably due to a layer of thin high clouds today.
