Stable Magnetic Fields

As seen through clear skies, All of these sunspots have stable magnetic fields that pose no threat for strong solar flares.

And, NOAA forecasters have upgraded the May 15th geomagnetic storm watch to category G2 (Moderate). The new forecast takes into account not only an incoming stream of solar wind but also the possibility of a glancing blow from a CME. The New Moon will provide dark skies for high-latitude auroras.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 20mm eye piece. 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!
