Excellent Sun today in white light

Hope springs eternal. I looked at AR3112 around noon and nothing special was going on.

I liked it better a few days ago.  Some of the spots have all but disappeared, some groups have spread out, etc.

Space Weather calls big group AR3112 “underachieving” but says it finally blew up.  That lasted for 3 hours, caused a short wave blackout over the Pacific.  I guess they were hoping for auroras at the equator, etc.

The sun continues to put on a text book display in white light. These are some of the most extensive sunspot pore groups i have seen in quite a while. Seeing this morning was very good early on, which is when you need to catch it. Granulation was visible using my 80mm Stellar View 80/9D with a herschel wedge prism. Lots of pores and complex sunspots cover an wide area on the sun. Some faculae were visible in the limb darkening areas.

Thanks. I looked but seeing was not so good. The sun doesn’t rise at 1169 old Kempsville Road until 10:00.
