Good question. I thought I noted a hint of an active region on the limb in H-a earlier to day but didn't cross-check with white light. If it sticks around tomorrow we'll probably see it on SpaceWeather.

Clear skies.

Thanks.



It kind of looks like what is left of dying AR 11026 which is about to go over the limb. Clear skies to you.

Thanks, David. Rather supsected it was, but have not been tracking it the last week or so. Too bad AR 11026 didn't blossom into a full blown, complex spot like most of us were hoping....
