There were enough holes in the clouds today to image the sun.  Active Region 1149 has developed from a number of specks into a nice sized sunspot.  It is almost as large as AR1147 which is just above it.  Wish I could have images an Ha image to see what filaments there are.  Reports show some C2  CMEs.  Ar 1148 has moved to the backside of the sun in the mean time.  In addition i was able to image some prominances primarily on the P limb of the sun.  I also have added an inverted processed image of the same data.  We’ll have to see how these 2 active regions develop.
