Where am I

51°N 5°E - In the back the Virgen Tower - Zichem - Belgium

Today I stopped at a virtual landmark, 51°N 5°E which is located a couple of houndred meters North from the Virgin Tower in Zichem and next to the Demer River - Belgium.
The tower will open officially again on september 2015.



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.
