A clear Sky this morning.  The Sun showed 14 active regions although they were not very intense, but a very busy view.  I also finished my Baader 3.8 filter for my Celestron C11.  So today was first light for the new photo filter as I captured my first closeup of sunspot 1642 using an additional red filter. (1642 is just south of the center) I am pleased with the first result, but it also shows that I still have a lot to learn in capturing and processing these new images.
