FEB 21 - AR2954 (PREVIOUSLY AR2936) JOINED BY 2ND UMBRAL REGION - OH NO IT'S NOT!!

[paulastro]

Had a look this morning, and  now a second umbral region has come into view.  Perhaps not the 'monster' predicted, but there may be more to come.

Difficult conditions, but took this single frame at 10.34 am with the Altair 80- EDR and Oympus camera.

UPDATE FEB 22ND.  As its turned out,  the new umbral spot in the pic is a new group, AR2955, it's not part of AR2953.

Excitement over I'm afraid.

Just had a quick look at lunchtime. Very blustery out there but managed a few minutes of clear between clouds. Nice looking group, not mega dramatic but good to see.
