Details:
Today, I was able to image weird emerging sunspot 3088 that features magnetic poles rotated 90 degrees from normal. Emerging sunspots usually have emerging magnetic flux lines that have that classic "dividing chromosomes" appearance. But these flux lines are clearly north-south and not east-west! Kyool!! Oh, and there was a huge prominence on the sun today too! 127mm f/9.4 refractor, Daystar Quark Chromosphere filter, ZWO ASI174mm camera.
