Thanks Richard and yes such a plethora of AR's and spots too, is an imagers and visual-observers dream - at last.

AR2816 has also flared overnight, so could be very busy on the disk...

I see this morning that as many as 15-spots are listed, but I thinks that's a little "overkill"...

Yes James that is correct and with AR2816 giving out a flare including X-ray emissions that have affected radio-comms on Earth, it is certainly getting exciting too..

Cheers
Terry
