The spot and other features Nov 17

The big active region is still impressive, with some complexity that could deliver a decent flare or two.

Shots taken with a LS152T, 3x barlow, Grasshopper 3 2/3" CCD camera. 1400 frames @ 26 fps, best 15% stacked.

Thanks for the kind words. Donny, these are indeed taken with the LS152. Hope you northern hemispherers are enjoying the cool weather out there! I've posted a time lapse of the spot to Youtube (helps to set the quality to HD). Fairly quiet during the period of a bit over an hour that I was capturing...

November 15 - spot on the way - time lapse added

Hi all, Managed to get out and grab a shot of the big spot on its way around this morning. I compared the pattern with my last shot before it went round the corner previously and there is some similarity, with two main spots and a leading 'fuzzy' zone. I tried a time-lapse to see how active this reg...

I managed to get set up before leaving for work today to have a look at the big sunspot. I waited as long as I could get away with to try to get the sun high enough in the sky to help the seeing a bit. Wow, it's a beauty! Hopefully I can get some good weather on the weekend for a longer session.
