Happy Valentine's Day to the Sun!

[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

Well it is fitting, I am in love with the Sun.

Here is today's image of AR 1046 and AR1045 turning the westrn limb.
AR 1046 has been bursting with solar flares - recently produced the brightest one in several years!

I also tried to capture a prominence - I have not been too successful with these but it looked good through the scope - located on the eastern limb - north is up.

Thanks for looking.

Great shots Matt and WOW – you’re a brave man indeed. I didn’t risk going out today to set up the rig; far too dangerous on Valentines Day! LOL!

Cheers

Glad you love the Sun Matt, very nice shots indeed, bugger the Valentines stuff, it is only an other day for the shops to rip you off, and it is American.

I tell Alice on any day I like that i love her.
