1-17-2021. WL Only.

Post by DeepSolar64 »

Today just before noon EST local time ( US ) from a friend’s in Rock Hill SC I got a brief solar session in. The skies are nearly overcast and the temp is 39F. The seeing is pretty dern good though.

Astro-Tech AT72EDII w/Altair wedge. 23.5x and 71.5x. ( WL ).
I see a sunspot very close to the SE limb! It is located northeast of a patch of faculae. I can also see a very tiny pore in the SW quadrant. It’s hardly bigger than a granule! Granulation is very apparent at 71.5x. Easily seen.

Carpe Noctem my Friends.

James

The spot to the east looks promising.

Not only that. The SDO showed me exactly where to look and the seeing was good. I did not see it today.
