Sunday Sun September 5th 2021
A really nicely active Sun today, with active regions and proms galore! Seeing was below par, the air clarity wasn't great and a lower Sun meant longer exposure times/higher gain, so some of the images, particularly in Ha are a little bit soft and may have been overworked. Anyhow here's the crop from this morning from my driveway.
First up, Ca II K FDs

Re: Sunday Sun September 5th 2021
Thanks Stu, for more of your excellent captures.
Your FD's are my favourite today, as the Ha coloured one, tells me that I need to add my DS to get the better surface detail - as yours has done so well. Been a while since I used it, but now the surface detail seems more important than the proms with my LS60...
Of course the close-up's are excellent too and although at last-night's SDO showed six sets of spots, like yours, mine only showed four-spotted AR's some 12-hours later.
Cheers
Terry

Wow Stuart. All of these are really good and you have the Sun covered today. I especially like the colored full disc CaK and Ha images. They are beautiful!

Re: Sunday Sun September 5th 2021
Many thanks, everyone. Looks like cycle 25 is progressing nicely. It will be interesting to see how the newest active regions develop.

Re: Sunday Sun September 5th 2021
All images are impressive. But the DS images with 2xLS35FHa are really amazing.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Sunday Sun September 5th 2021
Mine too . Often under rated, WL views have their own special appeal, especially with complex active regions.
