AR3936 and Friends!

On 12/29/2024 12:40 pm by David Hawkes | Sheffield, UK

Well after a number of very foggy/cloudy days in the UK after Christmas the clouds finally cleared just enough to get this shot in. Congrats to NASA for their Parker Solar probe successful flyby, coming at a time of interesting solar activity. In my shot AR3929 appears to have disappeared over the horizon, making currently 10 active regions on the solar disk, dominated by X-flare producer AR3936.

Skywatcher 8” Newtonian, Seymour Solar 9.5” glass white light solar filter, Nikon D3200.

Registax 6 for wavelets and sharpening, some recrop/resize/contrast edits etc and addition of active regions.
