The sky was clear today, so i aimed my new solartelescope at the Sun to see some Solar Flares. There where pretty much of those flares visible today. As you can see on the sketch, three huge flares where visible on the leftcorner of the sun.
Our Sun reaches the Solar Maximum in 2013, so it will become more and more active. This is the time to buy a solartelescope!

– Weather: hot and dry
– Seeing: (very) bad
– Telescope: Coronado P.S.T.

I’m ready for the Solar Maximum!
