Sunspot region photos

[Jay-B]

Does anyone know how often the sunspot region photos are updated on this website? I want to start making gifs of interesting spots and want to know how often to check for new pictures.

Hey @Jay-B  I have heard it stated a couple of times here that they are updated on an hourly basis.  There may be exceptions to this, but that has been my assumption.

For gifs just use JHelioviewer, it's way easier and has so many features with different data options. I recommend getting the java version and not using the website.
