I did not have enough time to finish my normal observations on the Fall Equinox.  Cirrus clouds and contrails streaked the sky, which made for a very challenging session.  Well, the sunspot did not come around, but we see a very nice faculae in the 540nm close up, and possible a very small pore.  The same area shows as a nice plage in Ha.  However, I could not get an equal exposed Ha image.  Too many clouds were streaking through.  So this is the best I got.  One item to note is that the area is Cycle 25 polarized.
