It’s not the best weather here today with lots of cloud and very windy, but I wanted to capture an image of the Sun for the first day of 2025.
There are two large sunspots on the solar surface, AR 3936 is now just off the western limb and new AR 3943 is coming into full view on the eastern limb, this one looks very interesting!
Image was taken with the Seestar S50 telescope with attached solar filter, this time I’ve captured a video file for just 2 minutes and stacked it within the telescope with the stacking mode, processed in PS.
The SDO data servers at Stanford University was damaged in a flood on the 26th November 2024, since then
Dr Tony Phillips the creator of Spaceweather.com is using solar images from contributors for the Daily Sun.
For ‘New Year Day’ the 1st January 2025 my image was on display : -D
