Hello all,
Some of you have had the opportunity to view this very active spot with me
this past week. I was reading on another forum that someone had
photographed this spot group and Wow! I have seen this kind of activity as
I have watched it over the last few days but here are some really great
photo's.

Check this out and you'll get a flavor for how dynamic solar viewing can be.
Note the time and date stamps. Please pay attention to subtle differences
around the spots. You'll see dramatic changes in bright and dark features
around the spots in very short time spaces. It is amazing how rapidly
things are happening in that region. You can actually see this detail
through my scope. It has been great fun.
I plan on getting out next week. I'll post when and where just in case
anyone would like to join me.
Have a great week!
