As the image shows, there were many prominences, several filaments, and many sunspots or active regions. Sunspot 1391 is visible in the active region to the left of center, while the active region to the right of center shows sunspots 1389 (left) & 1388 (right). Just above center, but below the filament, is a small sunspot, 1393, and diagonally up to the right of 1393 is sunspot 1392. The sun's everchanging features makes it a joy to image over and over again. |

I set up camera working on -20C. It's really a very special night in my life. First time taking astro-photo on Christmas eve and first time stayed at this place and first time stayed on -6C temperature whole night, first time taking NGC2359. It is so similar as Stitch who is in the Disney cartoon. Merry Christmas and happy new year. |
