Sunspots 4446 and 4452 Harbor Energy

On 05/29/2026 10:17 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

The solar disk is once again peppered with sunspots this morning. However only Sunspots 4446 and 4452 have 'beta-gamma' magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares. This is how they appeared to me through sunny skies!

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 12.5mm 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 Herschel Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
