I finally got my act and the weather to line up.  I pretty much missed the big sunspot AR2529.  I did get a picture of it at the limb.  Mike captured an excellent image of it anyway.  Beautiful!  Great job Mike.

AR2529 -

I have an image of AR2531, such as it is -

Some of the texture toward the upper limb.  I told you I was hard up for images.  ;-)

My clear sky's continued and conditions were much better than average for my area so I set up my 150mm big gun for these . Nice to be back at imaging again .

Sun Returns

Clear sky's have been rare for me lately but I caught a break and was able to grab some shots of  AR 2529 . it's a beauty and I am glad that I had an opportunity to capture it .

More March Sunshine

A chilly but sunny day up here in Ontario today . Conditions were about average for this time of year

Sun Appears Again

This has been a welcome return to some sunshine for me . A nice day to be outside but a layer of high thin cloud added to the challenge . All in all it was good to be back at imaging again .

Looking pretty quiet up there .

I finally managed a couple of images today.  The sky was a bit hazy, but I expected better images then the ones I got today.  I am posting them even though they don't compare to Mike's great full disk image.  :-)

Lower west limb. 

West limb middle area - AR2501.

East limb, middle area.  The feature in the center wasn't labeled.

Mike and I will be trying to get good image every clear day.  it is very obvious that we are into the next solar minimum.

A return of the Sun

 So I guess this will kick off the 2016 image season for Bill and I . The temperature was -5c so just a quick disk to start 2016 .
