I just received this:
A new spot, possibly 0987 is visible on the eastern limb as of 12:28:00 March 23, 2008.
And I saw it a couple of hours ago, it's been very active apparently...

Yep, things are changing rapidly.
Seeing's going downhill here, too... 
Keep looking up!

Great close up of it:

Looks like a spot to me!
HINODE focused on a region without activity, but STEREO shows something possibly more exciting coming round the bend!...I love that new view of what's coming!...

Thanks for the report, guys. I appreciate it. It finally cleared up here so I think I'd better grab a chance to view.
