Dear James,
Thank you very much!
Indeed, I don't think there are ha images on the SDO website.
The image above is a composite I made with Photoshop of my ha image attached below and this one from the SDO: https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/br ... 71pfss.jpg
Best, Daniele

The SWPC SYNOPTIC MAP explain the magnetic regions as shown on https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/br ... 71pfss.jpg
as just submitted above

- = negative magnetic polarity regions within the dotted lines
+ = positive magnetic polarity regions within the dotted lines
