This sketch is the second sketch I have made of Active Region 11040. Up to date images of this active region can be seen at the Solar Monitor website, and are worth checking out.
Instrument: Lunt 60mm Hydrogen Alpha scope/BF 1200 blocking filter
Eyepiece: Baader Hyperion Zoom at 12-16mm
Atmosphere: High Cirrus clouds with poor-below average seeing.
Time of sketch: 1720-1725 UT, January 11, 2010
Carrington Rotation: 2092 Diameter: 32.52'
Active region is not as bright as it was during my observation two days ago, however, it has taken on a distinctly horseshoe shape. A few small spots are visible inside the region, confirmed through de-tuning the etalon. Also, two small brighter areas are noted almost on the central meridian. There is one prominent filament visible, as well as a few darker areas that seemed to become more pronounced during the session. There are a few prominences that while small, are complex.
