Solar update - 19 February 2011

Hi all,

The Sun has been very active lately with AR 1158 spewing forth an X Flare several days ago.
I imaged it this afternoon (no real activity - image 1) as it is heading around the limb. It does not look as impressive as it has in the recent past.

The other area that was great to see was the area containing three active regions - AR 1160, 1161 and 1162 - AR 1161 is the largest dark spot on image 2.

Lunt 60 / Ha, 2.5 Powermate, DMK31 and processed in Registax5.

Thanks for looking!
