When it's summer, I will no longer be able to take solar images from inside my home.  So, this one is going to close this observation season.  Luckily, we have a pretty big prominence today.

0731 (UT), with reducer:



0735 (UT), reducer with 5x Powemate:


Part of the aperture was blocked by the window frame, so the resolution was much affected, too.

AR2738 is definitely the focus today.


Ranger with 5x Powermate, reducer not removed, so it's not 5x indeed.  Taken at 0638 UT, ASI 120mm.


0635 (UT) with reducer for full disc shot.

We finally got a sizeable active region after long inactivity.

Something is happening on the top and bottom left.  Very very foggy sky.
