Proms, Convection Cells, Filaments, Spicules | HA | Sept 17th 2019

Post by MalVeauX »

Heya,

I had a productive morning today, seeing was a little challenging this morning as I waited through some clouds and frankly shot through some clouds as a fairly transparent cloud allows better seeing opportunities sometimes despite the brightness shifting. I was able to do some visual this morning and some imaging at various scales for the full disc and some larger imaging scales as seeing permitted. Not much going on of course, a few tiny prims, some wee filaments and mainly looked at convection cells and spicules in high resolution.

B&W:

Thanks all, :bow

It's nuts how minimum it is right now. I'm finding white light and CaK more interesting at times than HA even, at high resolution when possible. Just waiting for a good sunspot or prom to come around again...

Very best,

I have never seen the sun so calm for so long as it has been lately.
