Great stuff, Robert. I had a look with my PST, took a while to find it because I was fighting condensation on the objective after a cold night here. Couldn't see any sunspots when I de-tuned the scope then I was beaten by a light shower of rain.

Great shot Robert. Seeing is poor at the moment but this is the region in h-alpha...
