APRIL 26TH - WL - AR2993 PLUS 5, PLUS 2(?) NOT YET DESIGNATED

The weather forecast this morning for my location indicated 100% cloud cover (AccuWeather), and no sun all day apart from S of London, parts of the E coast and parts of the Midlands (Met). Awoke this morning to 100 cloud which gave way to a mackerel sky in the E and by 7.45 the sun peeped through and its been 50% sunshine ever since.  Good job I don't take any notice of it.  Rant over 😊.

In addition to the five AAs already designated a number, spaceweather indicated a new one arriving  on the limb SSE of AR299.  There looks to be a second smaller one on the limb E of AR2999.  You will need to view the whole sun frame below at 100% to be able to see them.

Single frame taken and crop taken at 9.19 am, Tecnosky 102ED F7, Olympus E-M5 Mk11, 1/320 at 200 asa.
