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!

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 UTPosted by Marlyn Smith at 10:50 on 2011 Jul 08
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.

Just imaged this using 5" SCT, Type II glass solar filter and Olympus Camedia C-4000 digital camera just held afocally to 20mm eyepiece. Three northern hemisphere’s groups on the disk AR1260, AR1261 and AR1263.20110729 at 1415 UTPosted by Paul A Brierley at 16:34 on 2011 Jul 29
Hi Marlyn,Know Sun here i’m affraid. I have total obscuration. Very good picture, by the way.
Posted by Marlyn Smith at 23:06 on 2011 Jul 29
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.
