sunspots 1050 and sunspot 1051

Post by superiorstream »

Hi,All solar observer
Seen two new sunspots;one near the center of the sun and another just rotated into view from the other side of the sun.The one at the center shows lots of activities with a long filament connected to one pole of the disturbances.The other from the other side can barely be seen in white light--just a fuzzy dot--need good optics plus steady air--but in Ha it show up as a bright small region. Spaceweather had not reported on that yet.Seem that the sun never stop its active trend since november last year.By the way sunspot 1049 is at the very edge of the sun and should be out of view by tomorrow,so do take a look if you have the scope and necessary astrogear.Thanks.

Sunspot 1050 is dying already and no more visible in Ha;but still visible in Cak and white light,while 1051 show itself as a dot-approx earth size-and contain bright glowing regions in Ha.
