Right hand phantom sun

Yesterday evening for about 0,5h, a very bright right hand phantom sun (sun dog) could be observed.


The Sun Today with Prominences

Open sky today and thus time for using my PST. Taken pictures is very difficult but still managed to have some taken. The result is not fantastic but still you can see some prominences. I added the SDO picture to compare.

Lunt or PST Coronado

During today's Solar View Day I was impressed when looking to the sun using solarscope Lunt owned by one of our Helios members. I was easy to see the protuberance aswell a the sunspots. Using my Orionxt 12 with Baader film in visual yellow was different but less spectacular. When looking into the PST Coronado 40mm it was difficult to have a stable view. This was probably caused by heavy wind aswell high clouds. During the next days i will try out the PST.
