Sun has broken out in spots! A clear, hot day (83°F) produced very good seeing when we captured our white light image this afternoon. We expect cloudy, even stormy, skies over the next few days.
AR 4070 is being watched as the potential source for M-Class flares.

Wowser. There’s currently a huge prominence on the northeastern limb of the Sun, perhaps the harbinger of something big coming our way. Michael Jaeger caught a fine animation of this storm in action yesterday: spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

Using the Askar 103 APO scope and Spectrum Telescope filter, we are likely saying goodbye to active region 4079 and its large sunspot. A few other spots dot Sun's face but hold a bit less interest. May try again tomorrow to catch 4079 on the western limb.

Very good seeing conditions this morning with temperatures warming into the +30℉ range, and mostly clear skies.
Sun has been actively flaring, according to reports, charging Earth's upper atmosphere. The less-powerful flares have not caused major spaceweather.
