An Increasingly Active Sun |

Had some time to do some solar imaging this week for the first time in ages. Things are heating up up there! Here are some shots of the Sun and that massive sunspot region AR1476 that has literally been spewing C and M class solar flares all week - it's just cracking with energy.

Giant Sunspot Group AR1476 |

The enormous AR1476 sunspot group has been cracking with A and C class flares over the last few days. Like AR1339 this one is visible with the (shielded) naked eye as well measuring a whopping 60,000 miles across. Have a look at the to scale image of the Earth to get an idea of just how big this really is.

Now for something a bit different. I've had my Astrotrac for over a year now but have barely used it until recently due to work commitments or extended periods of poor skies. Well we've finally had quite a few clear nights recently so it was time to take it out for a spin.
