Solar Flares are Unlikely Today
On 06/14/2026 08:58 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA
There are three numbered sunspots on the solar disk this morning. All of these sunspots have stable magnetic fields. Strong solar flares are unlikely today.
103mm Jaegers refractor, Baader Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density 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 Jaegers 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!
