Had chance of grabbing a few images this morning thanks to a short gap in the clouds between 11:18 and 11:20 UT using my Helios re-spaced 150 f/8 (stopped down to 100mm) with Lunt CaK B12 module and QHY5III 178M (using ROI) Main aim was to get an image of AR 3007 as it shows yet another transformation since I last imaged it on the 14th. Second image shows AR 3011,3014 and 3015 and the third showing sunspot group AR 3010.
SER files stacked in Registax 6,wavelet sharpened in Astrosurface and final processing in Photoshop CS2,seeing was unsteady and wind was shaking the scope at times.

Nice images, Alun.
Lots of complexity in these active regions, which bodes well for more flare activity.
