Great update showing very well what can be achieved with modest equipment!
Easy to get out and use, too. Here are a couple of pics.

Still on a roll here with clear skies, but the sunny weather came with 15mph winds. I went down to the observatory this AM and rolled the roof back to see what I could see. Sure glad I had those walls around me to keep most of the wind off. 
The seeing wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, although sometimes the image would blur so badly that I couldn't see any of the AR's. Then it would settle back down for a little while and then repeat. I managed to get a decent look in spite of everything.
The AR1161-1162 area covers a considerable amount of solar territory--I estimate that AR1161 spans about 10 Earth diameters east to west. Active Region 1158 was still visible on the western limb, very foreshortened and surrounded by faculae.
It's been a great week for solar observing. Even if you've been under cloudy skies (like I will be soon), a quick check of all the excellent images and sketches here on the Solar forum gets you up to speed. Thanks everyone!
