No Threat for Strong Solar Flares

On 06/19/2026 09:36 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

All of the sunspots seen on the solar disk this morning have stable magnetic fields that pose no threat for strong solar flares.

103mm Jaegers refractor, Baader Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 20 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!
