September 9 2021 Observations. WL Only.

Post by DeepSolar64 »

Session time is from 15:19 until 16:02 UTC. Intermittent. The skies are almost overcast and the seeing is a little above average. The temperature is 66F ( 18.8C )


Orion 70mm Solar Telescope. 25x and 50x ( WL )
I can see six active regions on the white light photosphere today. I can see a single large spot with penumbra that is associated with AR12864 in the NW approaching the limb. I can only glimpse a couple of pores just east of it. It's faculae can be seen. AR12863 can be seen approaching the SW limb. All I can see of it is a single well structured spot and faculae. The spot has a double umbra surrounded by a penumbra. SDOHMI continuum shows a couple of pores nearby but I cannot see them. AR12868 shows 13 spots to my small refractor. SDOHMIc shows more. The large sunspot at it's SW end reminds me of a single celled protozoan, complete with nucleus and cytoplasm. Umbra and Penumbra. AR12866 is a complex grouping of spots. Ragged penumbrae pervades most of the spots in the group. AR12869 SSE of AR12866 has 6 spots visible to my eye. SDOHMIc shows a few more smaller pores. I see a new patch of faculae near the SE limb. It has a single small spot that I am able to see with my small refractor.

I can see the fine solar granulation today without issue.

Seize the Light!!

James

Mark,
That's the most awesome thing about the internet. Though GONG, SDO and SolarChat the Sun always shines!! The Sun is visible this way 24/7!

The wonders of modern technology....

Thanks Stuart! I post these not only for my own records but to hopefully help others here in their own observations.
