Sun with Coronado SolarMaxIII DS
It is already the sixth consecutive day with clear skies and temperatures are climbing above 30°C. Therefore, I absolutely wanted to observe the sun, but given my surgery, this was not possible. Today went better and I asked the kids to set up the telescope with my Coronado SolarMaxIII DS BF15. The sun is still quite active with several sunspots and prominences. According to my observation, the Rp or relative H-alpha prominence number was 131.
