2nd Oct.
At last a beautiful day to image the Sun - no clouds or strong wind. Got my Lunt 100 Ha scope out and captured this image. Single exposure of 1/80 sec with Canon 550d. Notice most sunspot activity is in the southern hemisphere.

Also the mean sunspot number for Sept was 141.4 which is significantly down on last months mean of 215.5. Was last months mean THE maximum ??? Only time will tell. I have attached the graph from SWS of BOM to show what has happened with the mean SSN so far for cycle 25.
Thanks for viewing.
