Hey all,

Just took a look outside about 6 or so and spotted this coming around the eastern limb. Hope it hangs around a bit. Been ages since there was a spot on the Sun.



Cheers,

Trev

Great capture of the Earth Trev :wink: :lol:
seriously, nice flares, hopefully this sunspot formation will add abit of long needed detail on the sun.

Thanks guys. Yeah it was quite hard to get enough angle Earth in the shot. Needed a huge tripod extension :wink:
Hopefully this is a sign that disc activity is on the increase.

Hi Trevor

That’s quite a telescope you have, is that Gliese 581 with the new so called “Earth II” in the same frame? :D

Seriously, can you keep us up to date on this sunspot, I wonder if there are more to follow?

Clear skies
