After another delay the conditions today worked. :-) It rained a bit last night and cleared the air. With very few clouds today there was only the wind to worry about and it was brisk at times. I was able to image for a while and I really wanted to get a picture of this new monster sunspot AR2192. I did. :-) I will start with a couple of images with hopefully more to come. The first image is of what appeared to be a very long filamment. I have run into this formation in the past and it ends at the limb in solar tornadoes. Over a year ago i imaged another line of them and I didn't know what I had until I saw a NASA picture of the same formation. There image was magnitudes more impressive of course. ;-)
Here is my first shot of AR2192 -
From the other side. AR2191 and AR2187 -
Closer in on AR2192 with the Powermate (Wind was really a problem with this and I might have a better one later.) -
In this inverted image you can better see all the turbulence around this sunspot -
Closer on the big filament -
