Sun images from Melbourne 10 October 2022

[Averton (P and C)]

It was meant to be a "sunny" morning in Melbourne but it was back to thin high clouds. We took some images anyway as it looks like the last chance for a bit.
The disk is still dominated by the complex of three active regions AR3119, 3116 and 3112. There are also still the very impressive prom in the south.
Full disk Ha image taken with Daystar Solar Scout 60 double stacked with Lunt 40 etalon, ASI178MM camera and 0.5 reducer.
Close up Ha image taken with 72ED, Solar Scout Quark and ASI178MM.

Hi Peter and Clare, Nice to see those images - I did see the flaring around Ar 3112 and imaged it but there was light cloud. Looks like more bad weather coming. Cheers John W.

Thanks John.
There has certainly been some interesting activity around the main active regions at the moment, particularly 3116 & 3112. The weather does like it's going downhill again, so not much solar viewing for a bit.
