Finally Some Activity! Juicy Prom & Cycle 25 AR | HA, CaK | March 7th 2020

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

Finally some activity stirring on our quiet star. A new cycle 25 AR is developing fast and went form a mere pore to an obvious class A sunspot dipole with surrounding faculae in the photosphere and some mottling and plage starting up, nice and bright, in the photosphere. Seeing was average today and rapidly declined as the morning progressed so I kept the image scales a little course. There's a wonderful huge prominence on the North Eastern limb and its rapidly changing this morning.
