The solar disk as seen to me just now. Spaceweather.com reports: Almost no sunspots are facing Earth. However, several big ones are facing Mars. Today's sun photo from Mars rover Perseverance shows multiple sunspot groups including old friend AR4366, which unleashed six X-flares in early February. These Martian sunspots will turn to face Earth next week.
103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 60Da camera. At prime focus.
