Disc pretty well blank in white light, CaK and Ha. Large prominences on the SE limb 2009 Nov 03, 1223 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/16, DMK41 and an even more spectacular group on the NW limb 2009 Nov 03, 1222 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/16, DMK41 Seeing poor to bad (low altitude due to southerly declination of the Sun, can't expect much better till mid February) transparency good with drifting clouds (nasty big wintry shower type cumulonimbus, though the precipitation is just frequent heavy rain showers).
