Description

Sunspots (20231120) - worst seeing

A surprisingly beautiful morning, albeit with high cirrus clouds driven across the sky by strong winds. I miss a night sky suitable for DeepSky. The last time I was able to photograph the Pleiades was 2 weeks ago ... nothing has worked since then.

So I decide to quickly go out to photograph the sun. After the solar disk appeared almost completely blank for the last 10 days, new active regions have appeared from the left (western) edge of the sun for two days.

Tip:   See this seeing animation as version B.

Unfortunately, the seeing is incredibly bad: I can't even get a sharp focus on any spot, the bubbling and wobbling is so bad. The edge of the sun itself also appears flaky and torn, torn by violent air turbulence - see live animation (version B).

With very intensive image processing I only achieve this reduced image, which is difficult to view in its original size - it looks so bad!
