May 15th - White Light - Big Sunspot

[paulastro]

Grabbed a frame at 7.29am, Equinox 80, Lunt H Wedge, 1/3200 at 200 asa.  The new big spot looks very impressive and makes a good disk with the other four ARs.  Can't find a designation for this AR yet.  May be only chance as much cloud about and forecast to cloud over and rain!

Thanks for the comments everyone.  And thanks for the designation Dave, AR2546 it is then!

Nice set of white light images.

Nice white lights Paul. I was hoping to go back for some close-ups but seeing deteriorated pretty quickly.

Thanks, I hope you did Dave.  It looks as though clear skies are going to be in short supply up here in the next few days.
