Very nice animation and images. Thanks for the splendid views Rainer. I was clouded out today.

Clouds ruined any chance of me seeing the flare.

Good luck on that Mark!

Very nice!! I am clouded out today.

SDO is now showing evidence of something approaching the northeast limb. It appears small though.

James:
Thanks for the report, just got a few images due to bad weather.
Regards,
Eric.

They turned out well despite the weather.

They turned out well Eric.

Rain will probably get me today. Tomorrow I don’t know.

Thanks Terry.

Stunning sketch Marios!! The second spot group now has it’s own number I see.

What magnification did you use while doing the sketch?

Alexandra,
I hope you and Mark are staying dry and safe. May sunny skies find you both.

Blessings

James

Eric,
You captured those prominences in detail far better than I could see. Awesome!

Good report James, there's a pleasing about of spottage in the SE. Good stuff!

It's a start. Now if we can get spottage in more places than just the southeast. " Spottage ". I like that term...

Pavel,
Very nice. It's certainly more detail than I could pick up visually today. You certainly have more sky to view than I do at my house!

James

These look really good. I would have never known it was an older camera.

Paul,
You caught a small flare too!

James

I love how the proms turned out. Nice!

Great to hear you can see all this, take a good look at the NE for this incoming hotspot on Terry's post over the next day or so

It also shows the second pair of spots to be true spots, not large pores as they appeared to me visually.

After a cloudy morning the clouds finally parted hit-and-miss during the early afternoon to allow me to see the Sun. Session Time is 12:15pm to 1:18pm EST local time ( US ). Skies are partly to mostly cloudy. Seeing is fair. The temp is 52F. I am back home in Edneyville today. Coronado SolarMax II 9...

Mark,
You did better than I did on Saturday. I was completely clouded out. The images look really good.

James

Beautiful! It looks orange and furry. Just like my daughter's cat!

Thanks Terry. You have became our premier solar forecaster!

Thanks James, nice report, glad we have a bit more to look at. Storms here for a couple of days then forecast to brighten up at the end of the week. I might see if I can have a working at home day on friday for some cheeky lunchtime solar. I see what you mean when you said how green the grass was i...

Thanks and welcome everyone!
