This month is the first time I’ve used the Questar for solar imaging and
I’m not at all disappointed!

Happy New Year Everyone!

As the clouds are slowly departing from Ontario Canada, we might actually see the sun. I can see from NOAA and Spaceweather there is still a sunspot AR11039 appearing in the lower southern hemisphere.

As this Solar Cycle 24 starts to come alive, lets hope for clear observing conditions.

I also urge you all to send in your solar observations to the Solar ALPO Coordinator at Kim.Hay@alpo-astronomy.org so these can be archived for use by researchers and amateur solar observers.

Please include the time in UT Time, orientation of North at the top (for images) type of equipment used, location. Please see the page on ALPO Report forms . Remember to join the ALPO Solar Email group on Yahoo.

Welcome to the Solar Blog

Each ALPO section now has access to a “blog” and an image gallery. The blog can be used by any coordinator or section associate to post special alerts and images. The gallery is also available for posting and archiving section images.

There are many advantages to using these applications on our website, including the ability to search posts by category, content and the ability to perform keyword searches when looking for images. There is also an option that will automatically post to a Yahoo group whenever a post is logged to your blog. The blog also includes an events calendar. The best part is that you don’t have to wait for someone else to post your alerts. Posting an alert to the blog is just like creating a Word document. You simply type, cut and paste images and post – no web experience necessary.

Of course this is all optional. If you like the way things are now with your section, that’s fine. Please note that the gallery will be used for future image posts, if the webmaster is asked to post images for you.

If you need an account for your section, contact Larry Owens Larry.Owens@alpo-astronomy.org

Here’s a link to the gallery: http://alpo-astronomy.org/gallery

Thanks,

Larry Owens
