Thanks for the update on the sunspots. I will try to have a look myself. I
must have missed that 5-minute period when the clouds briefly parted.

1024 with my 60mm H-Alpha telescope. There was some very nice detail of surface
granulation being affected by the high magnetic activity as it swirled into the
active region and there was also some bright Plages developed around the
sunspots; not much for prominence though at 0900 hrs this morning. Later on I
will set up the 6" refractor and have a closer look with a much narrower band
Solar Spectrum filter. It sure is nice to see some solar activity for a change.
