Another good day for H-alpha solar viewing
Hi Folks, Looks like there's more prominences today than in a long time. The large, involved active region 12860 is approaching the limb where it should lead to some interesting prominences too. There's two other active regions that have numbered designations on the near side and a slew of them on the far side. Sorry I don't have any white-light experience to report, but if it doesn't start raining or get totally clouded out, it'd be a good day to take a look. Tomorrow should be good also. Sol is definitely waking up! John
Where are you, John? The smoke and clouds in SLC have made astronomy almost impossible. Congratulations on your viewing! -- Joe On Tuesday, August 31, 2021, 03:31:47 PM MDT, John M.
