I can see the plage of AR12776 easily as it is nearing the southwestern limb. I can see two components to the plage and a filament on it's northern edge north of the visible spot. I can see a second plage on the north-central disc. I also see lighter patches of plage within the disturbed area east of the brighter plage. I see two filaments within the disturbance. I can see all the prominences seen in the GONG image. The largest being a close double on the SE limb. One on the NE limb is bright at the base with what looks like pale smoke trailing southward. Best seen in single-stack. The mottles are of moderate contrast today.

I can see the spot of AR12776 nearing the south-western limb easily. The Wilson Effect is starting to show. The umbra is dark surrounded by a nice penumbra. I see no pores today. I can see the faculae to AR12776 as well. I see one tiny sunspot in the north-central plage. Granulation is easy today. I looked for polar faculae but could not see them. Though seeing is good it's not quite as good as it was yesterday.
All while listening to Keiko Matsui.
