Solar disk movement

In this dual-image sequence captured through TS 80 ED F/7, Lunt 1.25" Solar wedge, Baader Solar Continuum, Baader UV/IR Cut, used to observe the discernible movement of the solar disk over a span of two days. The first image serves as a celestial timestamp, capturing the solar features at the beginning of this brief period, while the second image, taken 48 hours later, provides a snapshot of the Sun's altered landscape. Notable shifts in sunspot positions and prominence activities become apparent, offering a tangible illustration of the Sun's rotational dynamics. This observational study not only showcases the immediate changes on the solar surface but also presents an opportunity for solar physicists to analyze the Sun's rotational patterns and magnetic field evolution within this concise timeframe
