AR 4513 has a 'beta-gamma' Magnetic Field!

On 08/27/2026 09:21 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

Through mostly sunny skies this morning we see that Sunspot 4513 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that poses a threat for M-class solar flares! Our parade of sunspots continues across the solar disk, followed by a couple of tiny sunspots.

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!
