Thanks, Brian. I think it's better to put a link to the whole site on my Links page and say it includes your solar pictures.

Here's the observations: http://philippugh.fortunecity.com/Latest_Observations.html

The attached file in the prominence.

Status: offline 		There ARE spots on the Sun ... NOAA don't seem to be bestowing this active area with an official number but I've managed to image the spot two days running. Here's today's effort.



One tiny spot and at least three pores. Note the "rice grain" granulation, these convection cells are approx. 500 miles across - around 1 arc second as viewd from here.

2010 Mar 08, 1033 UT. 110 mm fluorite triplet apochromat (William Optics), Baader solar film & solar continuum filter, 4x Imagemate (giving f/28), Imaging Source DMK21 camera.

I saw some the last few days on Big Bear but they were below the resolution of my bins. I didn't notice any on Big Bear today, so well spotted!

I'm just doing my PST images and found 2 smaller proms and another philament (sic).

Let's hope it clears.

Not 100% could cover here, so probable chance of seeing the sunspots. Less optimistic about using the PST, though.

Looks nice in the Big Bear images. Work has been manic today and there's a lot of cloud. Hope to catch it later.
