Stereo sat's are working just fine...I'm sure SOHO will be back up sooner or later

Due to electrical power maintanance activities at our site, the SOHO website will be unavailable over the next two weekends: September 18-20 and 25-27. The outages will also affect the SOHO European mirror site which will be accessible, but not updated.

We might miss the first appearance of the approaching sunspot.

Can we not see "sunspots" form with the 'SECCHI EUVI: Extreme UltraViolet Imager'??

Yup. But that is "things that are yet to be" (seen). That's around the corner to the west. Not a big deal but everyone likes to see the MDI continuum image.

Something weird is showing up around the sun.
Have a look here: stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov...

Is there a good explaination for what this object might be?

I have made an image-composite over a day and a half that clearly shows that this object is moving...alas I can't upload it for some reason.

This should be made a new thread in my opinion, but I haven't got enough posts to do so.

Any of you care to "help out" ?

If you mean the dark spot, it doesn't seem to be moving and is probably a sensor problem (perhaps a result of the approaching sunspot?) . If you mean the light spot which moves to the left before the dark spot appears, that would be Venus. It will be showing up on the COR2 image soon.

Yes, I mean the dark spot. And it is moving. I took three pictures from the site taken 36 hours apart and blended them in photoshop. I matched up the background stars and it is clearly moving. Venus is moving too, but it looks like the dark spot moves a little faster. If I only could upload the image, you'd see.
