Today's Solar Features | HA, CaK | March 2nd 2020

Heya,

It was a warm morning but clear, seeing was decent, but kept the scales down a bit. Not a lot of features going on, the minimum showing off what that means, but some decent little prominences, a filament is rounding the Eastern limb and some convection cells for good measure. This is the result of about 22 minutes of imaging time (start and top of the SSM times).
