Sunspots Dec 15th

Now this sounds like a record that has been scratched and keeps repeating and repeating and repeated. How many of us in the corporate world get these updates from our IT departments? Rather than watch a screen doing nothing for a few minutes, I checked the Sun with my binoculars. Now if you think this is some form of skiving, I was hours late finishing work. In fact, as I was working, I had a camera outside, taking photos in an attempt to capture meteors.

Hi Philip. Another great sketch of the sunspots from you and it looks like you were quite busy. It looks like you caught AR3160 and AR3167 toward the top and AR3162, AR3163, and AR3166 toward the bottom. Thanks for sharing your latest observing and artwork with us on here Philip and keep looking up.
