Gee this is weird; your sketches give me a strong sense of deja vu. This is much better though. Quite fabulous actually.

I'm a newbie. Clue me in on the system for identifying surface locations on the sun. Or put another way, explain AR11259. Thanks so much.

Hello Willis. AR means active region. Although things are kind of sparse right now on the sun's surface facing us, I think that you will find this link very helpful for further identification, at:
https://www.raben.com/maps/date
I hope this helps Willis, and the best of regards.

Thank you so much.

Better understanding now, but let's say I'm imaging a certain part of the sun. What software/process would I use to identify the location that was imaged? Maybe this is at the website you referenced but a quick look has not answered this question. I may just need to spend more time on the site.

I find the site I linked to below usually has all the info you need.
For now the sun is clear so there is minimal information displayed.
Check the left hand column, you will see a graphic of the sun and any relevant AR info below that.

Eyeballs, binoculars, sketch box, Scopes n stuff.
Some people don't understand why I love astronomy so much, I cannot understand why they do not!
