Hello guys,

the sun is preparing a new active area grin

Here is the first light of my new Herschel prism. I have others but this is the first in combo with the same area in h-alpha.

I hope you like it: I know I'm having a lot of fun grin

Hi Luca,

excellent work 8) Good to see some white light activities again. I hope I can capture the coming spots myself the next days.

Cheers, Oliver

Luca,

Excellent!! It's nice of the Sun to give you a nice spot to work with. I think I may have to get my ED100 out for solar later this week!

First of all THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR THE KIND WORDS grin

Second: I have here a false color larger view of the new active area.

Mark my words: the sun is going to put up a great show in the next few days. So much for solar minimum 8)

Ciao

Nice shot Luca! Those Herschel Wedges are hard to beat.

AE875 is continuing to put on a nice show. Here's a shot I took today in h-alpha.
