Yes, that mammoth set of spots are getting close to the limb, but do not despair, as the latest SDO imagery shows that a N.E. Quadrant AR, could-well produce something to replace the action and anytime soon (hopefully)... :hamster:

Many thanks James, Nigella and Alexandra.

The N.E. AR is still showing a small area, so let's hope it will fill the void left after the Behemoth-collection of spots leaves this disk.

Regards
Terry
