AR IN THE NORTH-EASTERN QUADRANT

Post by EGRAY_OBSERVATORY »

Hello Everybody,
Worth keeping a close-eye on SDO etc., as there is an AR which might give us another decent few days to savour.

Still early days/hours, but worth a look at...

Regards
Terry

I didn’t notice it earlier today on the disc but maybe it will fire 🔥 up.

Certainly a small patch of plage there.

Well as you say, let's hope it does fire-up, so maybe the next few days will show us...

Looks a damp firework to me. Plage is seen on AIA but looks difficult on GONG. I hope it does do something but if anything to me over the last 24 hours its not got bigger.

Does look like something is trailing it though just on the other side of the limb that is similar is magnitude.

Hi Terry,

It has been raining for a couple of days. I will definitely look out for it when the weather turns better.

It's definitely decayed quite a bit since last night, one just appeared on the limb now which looks much of the same. Either way it's cycle 25 activity, just low magnetic field strength so little in the way of features.

Agreed Mark and have just seen in SDO the following little AR on the limb, so still keeping an eye on that one.

Hoping to get back to some imaging to answer your last question, but have been side-tracked as well as the poor-weather here.

Cheers
Terry
