Just got back from the event at NUS. I am rushing to the airport to join my family for a vacation. Don't have much time to sort the pictures out. Here is one :) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z7d32QYMfJ0/T88QKBFEy6I/AAAAAAAAABg/oJUA-2dsaiM/s1600/video0015+11-52-50+61+25+039Colpp+24L1035.jpg You can see m...

Got up early and imaged the Sun on the first opportunity. Was rewarded with a tiny window for imaging. The cloudy trend continued today. The following picture was taken in a small window when the clouds went away. The Sun's activity continues to build up. New sunspots and filaments are added. These ...

Thanks Weixing. I will be setting up 2 HA scopes to capture Venus. Hope the clouds will go away on 6 Jun 12 :) Here is the path of Venus https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oVit9EQCjYg/T8lWki9A6EI/AAAAAAAAB70/deX0MtJLnSs/s720/VenusTransit%25201.jpg https://picasaweb.google.com/yltansg/June22012#

The Sun is setting an active stage for the 6th Jun Venus Crossing !! http://www.pbase.com/yltansg/image/14371...

This picture was taken on 28 May 12 at 5pm. Sunspot 1492 (it is just slightly under the 12O'clock position) is crackling with C-class solar flare. Besides the SS1492, the rest of the Sun is relatively quiet. http://i.pbase.com/o6/08/993808/1/143613181.eT37IGMq.video00051_dKcopy.jpg http://www.pbase....

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.

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 http://ic2.pbase.com/o6/08/993808/1/143403829.wfwJpMsl.vid...

Hi Chia, Sunspot 1476 taken at 2 pm this afternoon. It has a 20% chance of emitting X-class flare. As it is facing Earth, it has attracted quite a lot of attention. http://www.pbase.com/yltansg/image/143253008/original http://ic2.pbase.com/o6/08/993808/1/143253008.JNyIRyuN.video00041_74Med2.jpg
