Nothing To See Here, Move Along...

Setup the Nikon P1000 and Orion White Light Solar filter on a tripod this afternoon and shot some Solar images.
Processed using AutoStakkert and Lightroom.
No noticeable sunspots (although a couple of hints) but lots of granules...
But I'm ready the next time sunspots are reported!
Enjoy!

Well, just because there is no apparent misbehaving, it's still nice to see the Sun.
It would be awfully dark and cold without it.
Beautiful image Brian! Glad to see you are in practice for when a spot pops up.
It does beg the question, what about the other side of our star?

Unlike the Moon, at least the Sun rotates every 26 days. So we'll see what the over side offers in under a month

Thanks, but it would be even more 'awesome' if it was covered with sunspots...

Lots of sunspots would be awesome to see but might rise some havoc here if a large CME comes our way. Great shot of the sun by the way.

Yup, we don't need a repeat of the Carrington Event of 1859. Then it just destroyed telegraph systems, "
Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks." Also some of the best Auroras and seen worldwide!
A similar event today would put us back to about the 1850's or earlier with recovery times estimated to be in the order of six months to two years!
We'll get hit by a rogue CME at some point. Apparently one just missed us in 2012?

Yeah, well, the Moon is just an Alien Space Station.

I'm sure the Chinese rover on the backside is looking for the door?
I'm sorta waiting for humans to find the monolith from 2001...

I like the show also, some of it gets a bit out there but it is still very interesting.

OK, I admit I have it set to record 5 episodes a week.
Then if I'm awake at night, I'll have it play all.
So I always have some "In Stock"...
So why are all the impacts on the Moon shallow?
And what's under the ice in Antarctica?
Our Pale Blue Dot.... In a Million, Billion, Trillion, Suns...I feel like such an insignificant speck of fart dust, as I sit out, lean back, and try to recognize the few stars I do know. Last night I was happy to see Sirius pop up in my alignment... And to poke around The constellation of Orion, settling in on an Object.
The Universe. See it before humans block it out with space junk.
