A Very Active May Sun - Our Aurora Provider!

            Lovely conditions during yesterday the 10th May allowed me to grab another image of the very active sun. Some nice detail showing in the sunspot areas.

Again a natural white image in visible light of the solar disc.

 As was predicted by many, Coronal Mass Ejections from enormous sunspot complex AR3664 led to the most phenomenal aurora display witnessed by so many people - many, including me, for the first time. It truly was spectacular and many have photographed this momentous event.

Imaged with my Esprit 120ED and Baader Astrosolar Film/ ZWO 2600MC camera.

Thanks for looking!
