Session time is around 2:00pm EST local time ( US ). Skies are mostly cloudy. Seeing is actually decent and the temperature is 61F. I observed from within the house, from my dining room with the telescope set up just behind the open sliding glass door. One has to take a quick opening in the clouds when available!
Orion 70mm Solar Telescope. 27.5x and 55x ( WL )
I got a total of six spots/pores on the Sun today! Three in AR12784 in the NW. All are small with the third barely visible. SDO shows at least 1 more. AR12783 in the south shows a well developed spot with well developed umbra/penumbra structure. A small pore is located a short distance northeast of it. A new emerging AR in the SE shows one emerging spot among the faculae. It's well developed sporting a penumbra around a darker umbra. I see no other pores in the area. I was able to only briefly catch the faculae of AR12782 on or very close to the SW limb before clouds covered it up. I saw no spots or pores there.
Granulation is visible today.
Carpe Cerevisi!

Hi James,
Very good. The clouds are rolling in as predicted by Eric Roel
Now my place is cursed

Re: November 22 2020 Observations. WL only.
Good afternoon Rainer,
I lucked out on this one. It's been overcast almost all day here. It's trying to clear up a bit here now as I type this but the sun is too low now in the trees to get my scopes on it.
Keep your eye out for a sucker hole! You might just luck out too.
