Coronado SolarMax II 90 DS. 32x, 44.5x and 64x ( Ha )
The first thing I notice is the plage to AR12776 is very easy to see and is V shaped NE-SE. I can easily see the spot too. I see a couple of filaments within it as well. I see no trace of AR12775 as it has now receded behind the western limb.
I see 5 filaments elsewhere on the disc. Three in the north and two in the S-SW. I see few prominences in single-stack. The most prominent being on the SE limb. The northernmost of these trails up northward. I can see the spicule layer on the limb and the mottling is visible across the disc with moderate contrast.
Celestron NexStar 102GT w/Altair wedge and 540nm+UV/IR cut filter. 55x and 110x ( WL )
I can see 1 sunspot complete with penumbra.The umbra has gotten itself together and is oval in shape. I see 6 pores trailing off to the southeast. Better seeing would have yielded better results. I cannot see the facular component that surrounds them in AR12776. I can see granulation in the first session but seeing has obliterated it in the second.
Carpe Noctem!

. We're going through a pretty bad patch of weather here (haven't seen the Sun in about a month now), so focussing on other hobbies instead (nature photography mainly, autumn is always nice).
