Welcome!
Welcome to my web Pages! Here you'll find images of the Sun, planets, Galaxys and all sorts of astronomy related stuff. Most are taken from my run-off observatory near Birr Ireland. You may notice the Earth in some images - no I haven't jumped in a spaceship its added to show the sheer scale of these solar events.

Just a full disc shot today that shows only one Sun spot (AR11084) and quite a few large filaments.

We still have a somewhat quiet Sun the only points of interest being the Earth sized Active Region AR11084 and a nice prom on the west of the disc. Imaging was made difficult today due to a strong wind.

Still a quiet Sun as can be seen from the full disc image. There was a nice active area on the NE with a wall of plasma eminating from it.

The Sun settles down again the only objects of note are AR11076 on the SW edge and a circlet of filaments towards thet north. There was also a small prominence on the NE.

This very dramatic row of prominences appeared on the western edge today. These were the filaments that that were present for some days along the disc
