Spaceweather says:
“the emergence of new sunspot AR2671 as recorded by extreme ultraviolet telescopes onboard NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The growing sunspot is crackling with C-class solar flares and throwing moon-sized clouds of plasma into space. If the active region continues to develop, it could become a significant source of space weather in the days ahead.”
Here is this morning’s window-sill image:
There’s more action in white light than Ha ! A group of several pairs of tiny spots around the main.

They are different! You don’t get the plages, prominences and stuff with white light of course. Waiting with baited breath for Pete Hill’s Cak trials!
I think all this stuff is happening because I am not in the UK to see it – it is a conspiracy! Cloudy here on the equator, beautiful sunspots and even meteors in Staffordshire and Derbyshire!

It isn’t THAT exciting Andy. Sun is v quiet compared to last year, and the moon and haze washed out a lot of the Perseids! Looks like you are having more excitement than us, in fact! Was impressed David Geary saw the Eagle visually though. Mind you, he did use a 16″ dob. Who else do I know that has one of those, I wonder?
