Sequel Mentioned in Previous Post
A movie sequel is often not as good as the original. My second movie produced from images taken on August 20 is not as interesting as the previously posted movie. The previously posted movie showed sunspot 1271. Another significant sunspot visible on August 20 was sunspot 1272 shown here on the left as it approached the Sun's rim:

Sunspot 1272 did not show much activity at the time I observed. Thirty minutes in the life of this sunspot between 10:25am and 10:55am EDT is shown below:

Seeing conditions were rapidly deteriorating while this video was recorded, so some of the frames are a bit blurry. Some rotation is also visible because I still haven't completely mastered image alignment. On the other hand, there are a couple of small gas eruptions near the bright area in the center and this movie took much less time to produce than my first movie. I'll be trying more movies in the future.
