The Sun 18-1-09 First imaging session since Boxing Day!

The weather has been appalling for solar observation over the last three weeks and although I managed to sketch some details on a couple of days, imaging has been impossible. This morning was clear and cold though with no clouds so I set up early. The seeing was below average but despite this there was some decent detail in the small prominences on show and there was also a small active region in the north east which appears to be unnumbered even though it clearly had spots visible yesterday.
