Subject: Sol with AR10960
Dear group,

Finally there is some activity on Sol. Just coming around into view is
the sunspot group AR10960 which has generated a fairly impressive
gravitational field and there is concern for sizeable X-class flares.

For an image taken a few hours ago through clouds, I kindly direct you
to http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Solar-Sunspots-2007-06-03.htm .

I tried using my Baader Solar Continuum Filter but I could not focus
which perhaps (?) may have been due to the clouds. I will have to wait
for another opportunity with much better transparency.

Clear skies.

Anthony.

Those are some really fine captures. Thanks for the posts.

Lovely photo Anthony. I've been following this region with both of my
PST's over the last few days (rather a backlog of processing to get
through). Here are a few shots...

Nice set of images, Pete. It is nice having such a nice "preoccupation"
during the day as well and on top of our work at night. :-)

Congrats on the new and dedicated site as well. ;-)

Anthony.

More great pics from the UK, aka "The Land of Perpetual, Eternal, and
Forever Sunshine."

Curse my luck, I have not seen the sun since /the/ /day/ /before/ the
large sunspot group came into view. Anyone want to be when I'll see the
sun again? :-(

Gravitational field?
