A bit hazy and somewhat cold here, -7C (19F). The cat was not pleased with that at 7AM. Neither was I overly.
I knew the Sun didm't have a lot going on with it, but I really had nothing better to do. I had a smoothie while waiting for the Sun to clear the roof, and at 10:30 I was able to get off a few thousand frames.
Kinda reminds me of 2019... and AR3615 is almost gone
I hope you have clearer skies than I!
All the best,
Mark

Nice shot Mark. I think my solar image from a couple of days ago is the last time I'll see clear skies until I head for the clouds of Arkansas for the eclipse.
Nice catch on the limb Mark, looks a nice bit of faculae coming round the south quad now...
The southern hemisphere is the one we want active for the eclipse especially for partial observers and imagers, wich depending on the regional weather I might be one of the partials myself...
