Well, I missed the beautiful grand arching prom from yesterday. It's mostly decayed and gone now barely a full day later. Alas. But there are still two fairly bright large prominences on the limb and a fairly small but interesting designated sunspot with a visible umbra and I think cycle 24 polarity. It seems to have grown considerably since yesterday. Maybe it will continue to be interesting if it lasts another few days towards the limb (love limb spots!). It was all cloudy and rained this morning. I sat in my observatory and waited out the rain, waited out the clouds, and eventually had a few minutes between a few big rain clouds that were moving quickly to grab data. The seeing was decent despite all the cloud movement, around 11:30 Eastern Time.
