This Christmas season was not good for astronomy in the Atlanta region.  Today the first day of sun since December 19th. But at least one day.  I imaged a full solar disk today at a temperature of 28 degrees F.  My hands were too cold to continue with the white light close ups.  AR1944 which just came around the eastern limb has increased in size over night from 250 to 1060 millionth.  I believe this is the largest active region I’ve seen in this cycle and it has been very active. :-)
