You've certainly captured an excellent image and well done on the SPOD too.

19-6-2021 AR2833 IS GROWING IN ACTIVITY

With the latest SDO imagery, clearly AR2833 is now becoming more active with numerous areas that could (or should) be called- spots.

How these develop over the next five-days, should be interesting...

FRIDAY SDO Close-up of AR2833 and possibly 3-spots 18-6-2021

Well, although quite small and almost invisible, there may be two spots trying to form near to AR2833 as the hi-resolution SDO image shows.

Still too early as to whether more action will emanate from this region, but hopefully :hamster:

AR2833 may-be forming a 2nd spot to the N.W. today 16/6

The central AR2833 - is forming a 2nd spot to the NW.

If so, then the current-stable AR2833 might become unstable, with the possibility of flares at some stage during its' life.

BTW although I can't see it in your captures, apparently there is another spot forming close to AR2833 in the NW of, which if significant, might cause some flaring.
