A new thread for 2011 pics. How fitting to start with some atmospheric images of the recent partial eclipse from 4th January.

Excellent photographs, congratulations to everyone. North Wales has been bathed in cloud for virtually 2 months, so no photographs of solar phenomena possible. Favourable weather forcasts for the region would be appreciated!

You can view more images on the Solar Section web pageswww.britastro.org/~solar/index.phpHere’s some more recent images received hot off the press!

Dave Tyler has merged two images above; the solar limb has been merged with an image of the lunar limb. Take a moment to consider the scale of the lunar limb and then look at the crater away from the limb several hundred km wide. Now look at the size of the that solar prominence some 93,000,000 miles further away and you get some idea of the scale!Solar image taken 20110513 at 0916 UT

Although the Sun is fairly quiet in white light at the present time, it continues to put on a spectacular H-alpha show. Here are some images from July.

Thanks Paul. The Sun does shine in Scotland occasionally, but not often! It’s been quite a few years since we’ve had sunspots like this and I’ve felt compelled to reach for the camera. Long may it continue towards sunspot max in 2013.

I was able to look at our nearest star this morning.I counted five group’s visible at x25 through a Baader filtered 66mm William Optics "OG"You can read my report together with a drawing on my blog.I’ve mentioned to an observing colleague, jokingly. The Sun will probably wake up now. Now she’s heading South of the celestial equator. And thus making observing difficult from November.
