15/11/2009 - SOLAR OBSERVATION SKETCH

A great day today. Medium seeing and my god the solar disk full of phainomena.

I use CORONADO MAXSCOPE SM 60mm DOUBLE STACK 0.5A Ha to make my sketch today because this telescope gave to me the best solar details of all my telescopes. It`s a great solar piece.

So today we have.

Polar filaments at SOUTH. And Q.R.FILAMENTS reserved at the west side.

I count six chromospheric plages. And i see an A.R.Filament at the plage who is near to 1029.

1029 has great size. It`s giant and we wait to come closer to the center of the disk.

The hedgerow eruptive area prominence at NE upper of the AR 1029 is too much powerfull. Today has broken in three pieces.

Make a sketch with exactly of what i see.

So i present to you.

Theo --

Wow, finally a lot going on up there on the disk. Sadly, we're too far north to do much solar observing this time of year (the sun won't even make it to 20° of altitude today).

Cheers,
