These images will be updated approx. The Soft X-ray image is courtesy of the Hiraiso Solar Terresterial Research Centre, Japan from their Yohkoh satellite. There are 4 visible active regions on the sun at present.
Solar activity is low and the geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to active levels.
I enjoy dabbling in deepspace , cometary and auroral astrophotography and am keen to hear from others with similar interests. If you have CCD images or digitised film images and would like to see them on these pages let me know and we could start a page dedicated to that theme. These are great objects to chase across the sky and the easiest optics to use is a good pair of binoculars eg 7x50 or larger.
