Sunspot 4419 is strangely quiet

On 04/21/2026 11:49 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

Through partly cloudy skies this morning, we see that Sunspot 4419 Still has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares--although it remains strangely quiet, as reported by Spaceweather.com.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 12.5 mm eyepiece. I am proud of this dedicated solar telescope as I made it myself around a used Jagers objective lens, bought on e-bay that had damaged coatings. A Moon Lite focuser, a Baader Planetarium Herschal Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
