Hi All,

I finally had a chance to image this morning. The Sun sure has quieted down recently but I tried to make the most of it today. The Lunt 80 DS went out this time because it's easy. First up is a rather soft full disk composite followed by an inverted disk sharpened up a bit. The only region of activity I could find has rounded the limb. Hopefully it will develop into something interesting. Lastly, two groups of proms were captured.

Absolutely fantastic uniformity in the DS image!

And some low activity at the eastern limb.

Thanks, Phil.

Thank you for the kind comments. Really appreciated especially when the images are less than stellar.
