Details:
Tom Reiderer and I conducted a solar session for about 50 kids and adult leaders at Trininty Presbyterian Church today, with solar eclipse glasses, 8x binocs, 50X Questar visually, and Lunt 60 in Hydrogen Alpha. We let the kids take these photos with my iPhone 12s, and they will love to see their work up here.
The first shot shows my Lunt at left, and Tom's Questar in center, with the safety filtered binocs and eclipse glasses at right. We had four working groups, divided up by age.
The second shot shows the disk, with the huge flaring sunspot (we saw a bright flare about 9:50 AM CDT, but didn't photograph it!) AR 3038 at top right, and on the NW (upper right limb) the largest filaprom I remember in my whole life snaking over the limb to the dark side of the sun. At center, the "U" shaped filament was the first thing on the disk the new obsevers noticed.
The last two groups had a chance to watch an eruptive prom on the SE limb from 10:50 AM - 11:10 AM CDT. It started as a loop for the third group, then turned into a belly-flopping diver by the time the last kids shot it. What a day in the Sun!
