Description:
A stable high-pressure area over Germany allowed a late-spring sequence of nine solar observation days in a row. Good to work in the home office so I could always make a brief stop at my small solar scope to follow lots of sun spots coming and going. I used a solar wedge with integrated near-UV filter centered at 393.3 nm (3 nm HWB) to image the daily changes on the solar surface, also showing extensive facula networks.
