Activity is really picking up again. I had a quick look at the sun with my Coronado SolarMax-II 60, and apart from a sizeable AR on the southern hemisphere, below and a little to the left of centre as viewed through the diagonal on my mini-giro mount, a bright plage area showed up above centre, (also to the left). Also on the northern hemisphere, but to the right a very long dark filament showed up. Finally, a prom could be seen at roughly the one o'clock position. Things are looking up for us sungazers
