AR2882 in Ha, Cak and WL

Post by Martin_S »

Sunspot (AR2882) is looking good. I was able to quickly capture it in 3 different wavelengths before the atmosphere became too turbulent for imaging.

Thank you all for your comments, Alexandra it is spring here right now but for some reason the weather is very unsettled with lots of early storm cells.
I think that we are hopefully entering a La Nina phase, which will be good as it's very dry down here in Brisbane.
