Daily Report
For Sunday Sept 5, 2021
Six
sets of small spots on the sun today and no less than 5 proms
on the edges. Good to see some solar activity. Seeing was pretty
bad, being in the middle of the Arizona Monsoon, where the air
is very unsteady all the time. |

A small spot with an adjacent active region to complete the magnetic loop:
2 amazing regions on the limb!
Proms. To take these, I set the gamma for 150 (1.5x) and overexposed the disk to capture the very dim proms. You have to black out the disk, because it is blown away.
