All Sunspots, seen this Morning have stable Magnetic Fields

On 08/07/2026 09:45 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

This mornings sky still suffered from a couple of recent dust storms and wildfires, but the sky cleared enough to view through the haze, departing sunspots, on the solar disk. These are all the sunspots, but for one tiny one on the Sun today, And all of these sunspots 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 25 mm Clave 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!
