Nova 1998 2 in M31 this image of the second Nova in M31 in 1998, was made from 38 exposures of 45 seconds integration time. It was made at September 21, 22h 20m UT. Telescope was a CG11 at f/6.3, no filters were used. The long list of processing steps caused the artefacts at the overexposed center of the galaxy and in many of the brighter stars. During the exposures thin clouds covered the sky but the CCD cuts through them, allowing me to obtain this result. ...

... The Magnetic Sun . ... Galileo had guessed they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, obscuring some of its light. ... It turned out that the Sun has a polar field somewhat like the Earth's, but that it reverses its polarity during each 11-year cycle. ... Sunspot fields were evidently produced by electric currents, and it was well known that such currents could be generated by a " dynamo process ," by the motion of an electric conductor (e.g. the flow of solar plasma) through a magnetic...
