Well, the spotless streak is coming to an end.  Two small areas started showing up yesterday in the western hemisphere very close to the equator.  By 1200 UT today, one of them was named AR2742.  However, flaring is very minimal.  Also the northern filament is still there and even becoming more prominent.  Unfortunately the clouds made it a very frustrating 2 1/2 hour session, but I got a close up of both the filament and the regions.  However had to do it using the ASI174MM capturing a lot of data.
