Sunspot progression 2/25 - 3/5/2024

Post by rigel123 »

With a bunch of skip days due to weather! Sun came out yesterday and this morning I was just able to catch it before most of the clouds rolled in. A bit of a jump there and can't quite get all of the disks to match perfectly but having fun! With the Seestar S50. The spots are getting smaller!

Very well done.

Thanks for sharing this. It's interesting to watch the procession of sunspot activity over time.
