Description

Self-rotation of the Sun over four days

>> Please view at full size <<

The idea for this short animation came to my mind when I realized I had captured the second image (2nd day) coincidentally at the very same time of day as I took the first one (1st day). So I tried to continue doing this the next days, if weather allows.

The third series (3rd day) – yesterday – was very fine, with good conditions. Today I wanted to proceed with the 4th series ... but unfortunately the sky was deep gray with heavy clouds and even a couple of those  (very prone to strong rain falls) Cumulus Mammatus rested above our mountains and this valley.

Luckily, within 1:30 hrs they all disappeared and a blue hole surrounding the Sun appeard. So I hurried out and took the 4th series of photos for this animation, though was a bit later than over the last three days.

Finally, this short 4-image animation shows the Sun's rotation within 3 x 24 hrs + 1 x 25:30 hrs – to be precise ... 

The Active Regions  AR3046 to AR3057 were involved and obviously very distinct to each other while evolving over time – I like viewing that!

Title: Background homogenized

Description: Background was uneven due to a small workflow change in Darktable. Bebuilt the 4 images and the animation with the current workflow to get a more homogenuous background.
