18-01-2021 NEW AR's

Post by EGRAY_OBSERVATORY »

With the S.E. AR showing what is an almost double-spot in one, there is another small AR in the N.E. approaching the limb in around 3-days time.

The Heliograph image shows the latest.

Cheers and CLEAR SKIES...
Terry

Thanks Terry, looks like a couple of spots in the region rounding the limb.

Thanks Mark and Alexandra. Shortly after my posting of this post, I ended up in hospital for a short stay, with a confirmed visual-problem - which is now requiring a considerable-amount of treatment over the next six -weeks, probably requiring surgery after. In the mean-time I expect to have further difficulties in some seeing on the PC etc., so please bear with me if I miss or mistook something.

Having just looked at STEREO and SDO, I note a second spot area in the S.E. and will post images in a couple of minutes...

Cheers
Terry

Sorry about that Terry. It sounds serious. A fellow I worked with had to have surgery for macular degeneration. It's a issue with the retina if I remember right. I hope it's not that. It can be really serious. I will remember you in my prayers.

Blessings

James.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and replies - everyone.

James, it's not the problem that you mentioned, rather is "Acute Anterior Uveitis" and is currently under a 2-hour treatment regime, which will continue for six-weeks albeit with better treatment-times later...
At present, it is difficult for me even to read from the pc-screen, as is like looking through a fog, so I have to magnify the screen to help.

Yes Alexandra - you are in a storm-warning area, so hopefully you do not get too big a soaking.

The latest images will appear shortly in today's post 19-1.

CLEAR SKIES
Terry

Thanks Eric and Mark. After the 6-week current treatment, it is likely that two Cataract operations will be necessary, so how long before getting back to normal is not yet certain, but hopefully soon.

I hope that the current/due stormy-weather doesn't cause any damage to yourselves over here in the U.K., as it certainly looks to be a problem

CLEAR SKIES AND KEEP DRY

Terry

You will have bionic eyes Terry, you should check out your cak scope visually, you will see all sorts after the op.

HaHa Mark, I could already see the "hue of blue" through the Cak scope with the Mk1 Eyeball, so if I could see more - that would be helpful, but whether that view could be worse - is another matter !!!

It'll certainly be interesting as to what difference the Cataract op will make changes and I will no doubt post the answer here, but if it is a good answer, will many of us go for the op - regardless ??

Cheers
Terry
