I'm not sure doing astronomy is so relaxing when you have to fight against clouds. The hole in the clouds was passing just west of my home resulting I was always at the edge of them and they were passing rapidly on the sun giving me very short less than a minute period of observation. The image quality was wonderfully clear I wished having longer period. So much activity on the sun, proms where fantastic and the sunspots too. I decided to try a full disk and between very short period of clear sky, I did it before loosing definitely the sun. So a day like today where the clouds are teasing me, I find that extremely frustrating and not relaxing at all. So pardon me if I missed some details, I had to hurry fixing each detail in my memory between two clouds. Andre.

I haven't had the chance to look at the big AR in Halpha--thanks for the view.
