Active region but still no spots 23-4-2010

[Nomis]

Had a nice imaging run today with lovely blue skies... The active region is looking quite well formed now but still no sign of any spots.

PST on MinEQ Pier with DMK41 @ f/10 out of attic window. NB: The white light disk and close up are with de-tuned etalon.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent images, really nice!

Apparently there is one tiny spot visible in white light. There is another thread running about it. Here's a link:

Yeah, I saw the thread but as you can see I couldn't see any spots. Having said that it was only through my PST (with a de-tuned etalon) so may be visible with larger aperture scope (although it's still not showing in SOHO) ?!

It does look real tiny in that SOHO MDI image. I was going to try in white light when i got home but not holding out much hope.
