The Sun 2-8-08 - New active region and proms

A new solar cycle 24 active region appeared late yesterday with the characteristic higher latitude location and reversed polarity. No sunpsot yet, but I could see a couple of very small active region filaments. Elsewhere on the limb the large claw like prom on the north limb is still there and there were plenty of others scattered around the limb.
