Under mostly clear skies earlier this afternoon, I was able to capture both H-alpha and broadband sunspot imaging data (60-second AVIs) to create today’s solar images. The H-alpha image below shows the four remaining active regions that we have seen earlier this group. Previously, there had been seven. There is more prominence activity than we have seen in days – especially along the sun’s NW and W limbs.
Today’s broadband sunspot image is shown below.
The prominence cameos are in the gallery below. Note the streamers of sun stuff forming an arch high above the sun’s NW limb, and a longer albeit fainter arch along the W limb.
