Sunday 23 March 2014

A quick 3 minute gap between showers/hail and high wind I spotted a gap..

Saturday 22 March 2014

Another early morning image, which is good as later the high winds/hail/rain rolled in....again....and this is spring...
Sunspots AR12010and AR12014 have 'beta-gamma' magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares.

Friday 21 March 2014

 Early morning gaps today, so the best of a cloudy bunch.
Sunspot AR12010 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic that harbors energy for M-class solar flares.
Spot count 137

Thursday 20 March 2014

After the morning rain and winds, a hazy gap, then back to wind and rain.
New sunspot AR12014 poses a threat for M-class solar flares, not yet Earth-directed because of the sunspot's location on the east limb.
Spot count 137

Wednesday 19 March 2014

Late image today due to high winds and rain, waited and waited for it to stop, you can tell how bad it was by the fuzzy edge to the disc.
 Sunspot AR12010 is crackling with low-level C-class solar flares. All the other sunspots are quiet.
Spot count 125

Tuesday 18 March 2014

Another cloudy and windy day, caught a gap before the rain started again.
None of these sunspots is strongly flaring. Solar activity is low.
Spot count 110

 Early gap first thing, so grab what you can.
None of these sunspots is strongly flaring. Solar activity is low.
Spot count 139

Sunday 16 March 2014

Clear sky nearly all day, time to brush off the Cak and Ha I think.
Sunspot AR12003 is crackling with C-class solar flares. Otherwise, all of the spots on the Earthside of the sun are quiet.
Spot count 141

Saturday 15 March 2014

 Windy and hazy again, but more gaps with not that good seeing today.
The magnetic field of AR12002 is slowly decaying, decreasing the chances of a flare from this large sunspot.
