Stable Magnetic Fields

On 06/18/2026 11:26 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

All of these sunspots have stable magnetic fields that pose no threat for strong solar flares.
However: Spaceweather.com reports: Europe's Solar Orbiter is swinging around the farside of the sun and monitoring a significant number of farside sunspots. An image from the spacecraft's Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) shows a line of five active regions in the southern hemisphere. All five will turn toward Earth in the week ahead.

103mm Jaegers refractor, Baader Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL @ prime focus. 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!
