Nice image and detailed.. the lack of sunspots lately is staggering.

Taking a look at heliovewer.org there are a couple of more active areas at the moment which are just about visible in Ha, there's some debate as to whether the cycles of bottomed out and we may/may not have started sunspot cycle 25 or not.

A lovely sharp disc, just wait till it livens up. All the practice during this quite spell will have well spent.
