Ha Full Disk 21st June

Had a nice bonus when I home from work in that the streamers of clouds that have been frequenting my skies of late managed to actually sit either side of the sun meaning I could get the scope out and get some imaging in.

Todays sun is a pretty one - not the huge prominences we have seen of late, but smaller more dainty ones. Filament wise there were some that were thin sharply defined, yet these were somewhat more ill defined and broader towards the limb. The active regions on the sun were very apparent through the eyepeice.

Hope you like it!
