White Light Sun – May 11, 2012

Hey, send your sketch of the Sun. During the present observations of the Sun I saw on the surface of a group of duck-like spots. You can see it in my sketch. These were some of the best observation of the sun. I can not wait to see the transit of Venus;) I encourage you to follow our daytime star.
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Solar Sunspot AR1429

Object Name: Sunspot AR1429.
Object Type: Sunspot Cluster
Location: Bristol
Date 10th March 2012
Media: Drawn at scope with graphite pencil on white paper then scanned and processed using Sketchpad Pro on ipad.
I used an 8″ SCT with a mix of 20mm bino viewer plus 10mm lens.
Weather was good.
AR 1429 caused quite a stir in UK as it unleashed a series of CME’s that raised hopes of a widely seen Aurora. Sadly UK weather was not kind for this event (no surprise there!). The cluster runs largely south at bottom.

I have blurred the result to more closely approximate the actual viewing experience.

Thanks

Active Sun

Hi,

May I present you my last sketch; an object everyone see everyday 🙂

Yesterday, the sun was very active, considering, I could easily see with my binoculars 10X50 three big Sun spots. I was very impressed!

Sun – November 9, 2011

Hello!
The Sun is my fawourite object to sketch that is why I am sending you this sketch, drawn 9.11.2011 at 12:20, in Ely, England.
I have used my SkyMaster 15×70 binoculars and the foil filter (Seymour Solar) which gives natural looking colors (The Sun is orange).
The conditions that day where cloudy, so I had to be patient waiting for The Sun to reappear from behind the clouds.
I have used graphite pencils and the stamps to draw it on smooth white paper. The drawing is 16 cm( 6,2 inch ) in diameter.

Clear skies
