Good sketch Stephen. There is not a lot going on.

Hope you don't mind but I'm going to piggy back off your post and post my afocal from today. If you do I'll delete it.

I was able to get home before the sun set and check my PST for the "tuning" issue. Well as luck would have it everthing seems to be fine. I saw the "hot" spot and the plage near the center. Everthing was really clear except a few clouds moving through. I think my capture picked up both. Looks really close to your sketch Stephen.
