Re: September Solar Challenge
Thank you again Marios for your excellent drawings.
Lots of fine detail behold.
You can go on holiday (possibly) next week, as it could be a tad-quiet with only the big-grey circle after about Tuesday.
Enjoy the break, if you get the chance.. He he !!
Cheers
Terry

Re: September Solar Challenge
Good morning,
Sunday today 12/9/21 at 08:30 and the day looks very nice with a clear atmosphere for solar observation.
AR 12866 12868 12869 12864 on the limb with AR 12864 WNW being at the end of the disk with no spots visible...just"patch".
Grab and go set up 10px Sky-Watcher 1200/f4.7 and a 24-8mm eyepiece zoom and ready for imaging the sun in the photosphere.
Here is the souvenir and I hope you like it

Re: September Solar Challenge
Thanks again Marios for more of your fab sketches and yes you've spotted something happening in the N.E.Limb area. There is certainly a small amount of activity coming over the Limb there, as well as of late on Monday some also in the S.E.Limb area too, but as yet they don't seem to be significant - yet...
Keep up the good work.
Terry

Thanks again Marious for showing the last of those two magnificent spotty-regions and still no change from what's trying to appear (or disappear) on the S.E. & N.E.Limb areas.

Re: September Solar Challenge
I forgot to check this thread. I am blown away by the sketches!! I so wish I could do this. My few attempts have been primitive by comparison. Sketching, if done accurately, as Marios has done is certainly superior to the descriptions that I give in my observational posts. And Alexandra, I also enjoyed your images at the scope doing sketches. And Nic, your portrait was awesome! I bet you could do wonderful sketches.
I will certainly remember to check this thread from now on!
Big thanks and thumbs up!
James

Re: September Solar Challenge
At least life is a tad easier without those spots, but the proms keep going somewhat.
Give me more time on fitting out the new mini-observatory instead.

Re: September Solar Challenge
Thank you Marios for another sketch of today's activity.
Keep a watch in the N.E. sector, as AR278(2) has become visible today - consisting of at least four-spots...
Best wishes

Re: September Solar Challenge
Well done Marios on "spotting" those extra spotty-areas other than the three AR's.
Your drawings equal (if not better than) the high-resolution SDO images, which certainly says much for your weather, telescope and your MK1 eyeballs with your drawing skills too.
Thanks again for sharing your observations and drawings.

Re: September Solar Challenge
Marios,
You have followed the sun excellently with your sketches!! I see you gave a solarcat friend too! You also have a good eye at spotting fine detail. I hope you keep this up after September. I know it’s gotta be time consuming!!
James

Some difficult spots to even see Marios with some appearing and disappearing quickly too, but you have well marked those identifiable.
