White light, disc blank. The active area reported previously is gradually fading out in both CaK and Ha, but there is a new area of activity developing in the south eastern sector - small and not very bright so probably won't amount to much. There is a nice row of prominences on the west limb and a very nice "forest" on the east limb. 2009 Oct 17, 1146 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/16. Transparency variable, seeing poor. Hope to post improved version later, also images of activity on disc. But right now I need a sleep - last night was CLEAR!!!!!
