Verry barren indeed. All I have picked up visually today in my SM60 is a small single spikelike prominence. The seeing is so bad it is washing out the mottling of the chromosphere. WL is totally featureless.

I know there are not much going on when you imagers don't even pick up much!

Excellent images Salvo. I especially like the first CaK image.

Hey Salvo, Look at the similarity of the SDOAIA1600 image to your CaK one. Color is different but very similar details and appearance. I have noticed the similarity in detail in the SDOAIA1600 and 1700 images to that of CaK and CaH images.
