Hi Pedro,

Excellent shots of the AR in CAK and HA. The tri-band mosaic looks good too.

WoW, Pedro. There had been significant spot development in the smaller spots from the time you took these until the time I observed them visually. That tells me the spot group is growing!

Delightful images, Pedro. Too wet here to see anything of this beauty, so I’ll have to live vicariously through your images.

Thank you.

Nice work as always, Pedro.

The triband comparison really shines is this case (some actual activity going on).

Thaks again guys

The new AR is developing fast. We have now a full grown group with activity in all wavelengths.

I'm back to the LUNT152 but unfortunately I could not use it today (clouds rolled in)

Wonderful detail. Fingers crossed this might point to greater activity throughout the rest of 2020.

Hi Pedro...

I've finally got a bit of time to reply to images, and I have to say these are all superb :bow

Always enjoy the astronomical targets and the pics of your equipment.
