A day of intermittent cloud finally allowed me to image in the afternoon. Seeing and transparency were remarkably good and allowed for a nice contrasty disk to be recorded. There are a couple of proms visible on the NE and NW limb along with a large quiescent filament across the northern meridian. The large spot is roughly 2 earth diameters in size, and shows an unusual 'whirpool' pattern of field lines spiralling around it. Reminds me of a hurricane storm sytstem.
Taken with the DS40 @ f16 PL130MSometimes black and white images look better, sometimes colour, today was one of those days when it is all down to personal preference. Here is the colour version so you can decide which one you like best!
