Active sun at last

[laudropb]

First view of the Sun for almost a month, but the wait was worth it. The large sunspot has split into 2 umbra, both within the same penumbra. Plage  and filament activity nearby. There is a large prominence just above this on the oncoming limb and 3 other prominences on this limb. On the Western limb there is another even larger prominence. I will set up for WL and have a close look at the AR. Hope your skies are as clear as mine.

Bout time too and the sky is clear shame about the wind making imaging difficult.

Thanks for the heads up. There IS some activity at last.

Got some nice views in WL using my SW ED 72 and Herschel wedge. The the umbra may not be completely split yet. There are too small spots/pores following the main AR. It will be very interesting to see how this develops, clouds permitting.
