That's an interesting looking lower and complex seeming spot.

Meanwhile the cloud thickens and the rain comes and goes; latest forecast gives little change for 24 hours.
Just as I've managed to re-jig the scope hide for the new toy. Mind it was probably the box from FLO
that brought the cloud, even if I haven't opened it yet!
Memo to self, build a larger box next time to cope with any future expansion of telescope :D


Call me Geoff.

I do what I do because I want to, and because I can....

Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!

Your white light images are so reliable! Thanks Steve. That cluster of spots in the south was producing flare activity this morning.

Thanks James ,

I was watching the 48hr video on SDO's AIA304 filter just now , there was a huge eruption from the right hand side AR's (lost track of numbers) at about 04:30 ... https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/latest48.php?q=0304
