Unedited Solar Images from Jan 2012 onwards

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Today's Sun 19 May 12 at 08:30 am

Sunspot 1476 has gone to the dark side after unleasing a CME earlier in the week. There are several sunspots 1482, 1484 and 1479 all near the middle of the disk, but they don't seem to be a threat .... Enjoy

P.S. I will be out of town for a week. Will catch up after I'm back :)

Previously I thought that it is a good idea for my solar images to compliment Chia's pictures. Upon a friendly advice, I have decided to remove my solar images and post it under a new thread. Thanks for your patience with me :) And I need to sort out the image not showing problem.

Hi,All
Thanks Gary for the upload.Due to the crushing of my 2 fundamental workhorse XP computers,substantial loss of photos etc incurred,hence didnt
pose for some time--now on my last XP computer.My vista computer didnt work well--nasty and shit experience--;so I may have to post in broken segment or pose and edit on my kids' computer.
Now for the photos--Observe these two floating prominences in almost succession.Notices that these usually occur during the minimum of the minicycle.
These are very interesting prominences as they float there for 3 hrs to 1 day with size bigger than our earth.!!If we can do that,then a nuclear
fusion plant become possible and our energy problem totally resolved.
By the way, we are at the end of the 5th minicycle--obs from previous trend--and the next active cycle will start around late July or starting Aug.It should
be one with a bang and lots of showing.Meanwhile,enjoy the show.Thanks.
