Two nice sunspots

There are two nice sunspots, 2740 & 2741. Hopefully, this an omen of the end of the solar minimum.

Unfortunately, I'm clouded in for the next five days. I'm anxious for some new images for our new group.:)

I'm having the same problem here! This year so far I would guess MAYBE 5 clear days. Everything else is overcast.

Are we going to have an Monthly image thread at some stage, to - perhaps - help keep threads to a tidy minimum?

I think we had something similar in another Forum, the name of which escapes me at the moment, though I do recall something about BB - wasn't she a French actress of note :D
Just call me Geoff....

I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing :mrgreen:

Well John is been raining off and on here for the last four days with three more to come. It's the so-called "atmospheric river" which is a term being used by the meteorologists this year. So if you were in coastal California you wouldn't be happy!
