Sun spot AR2529 in H alpha

[acr_astro]

Hi all,

this noon, I observed the sun with the Lunt 50, in particular the great sun spot AR2529 which looked wonderful in H-alpha. During the observation, two bright spots close to each other appeard (one at the southern edge of the sun spot, the other one a bit more to the south east). I really enjoyed to see the solar surface gradually change while I was observing. Here's my sketch:
