Hey everyone, hope you're good :D

Yesterday we got 15cm's ( 6 inches) of snow here. That's more than I've had in one day all winter. Driving was bad; I was so happy I was home at 1:30PM.

Today I woke up to a rising Sun in cold blue skies and it's been clear all day. The snow is melting; I thought with all this there would be a lot of humidity. Not so, and I will take the opportunity :D

The "monster spot" for Solar Cycle 25 so far has been AR3590. I made a post on that here.

AR3590 has come around again as AR3614 after two weeks. Not what it was, but there is a new spot below it that's been developing over the past bit, AR3815. Wow, hopefully it doesn't cough up anything in our direction!

I took some pics in White Light, and then tried my Ca_K setup. I've been having problems focusing with the ZWO camera on my Ca-K setup for the past bit. Today it just worked as it always used to. The only difference has been the cold; could that really be it?

I also could just be that tired with goings-on in life lately and literally "not focusing". I know I am. But I'm so thankful for this forum and all of you on here; an outlet for things that make me happy. You've all been a big help :D
