Hello everybody: hope you had a sunny day like me :D . Seeing was poor this morning but I was still able to image a couple of disks in Calcium H and White Light. Some nice new sunspots and one emerging. Hope for conditions to improve as the season progresses and be able to do some high res work with larger scopes.
