White light images of the Sun appear a little underrepresented atm, so I will enter this 80mm VixenSF image from 24 March although seeing on the day was not good. Attempted closer FOVs of the spots failed to give more detail. I am sure Groom's version with his Seestar, if the weather allow him obtain some pics on the 24th, would be better 

 

 

Also showing a (much more reduced in size) Ha image from my Lunt 80mm DS (not exposed to show the floating proms) from the same day as a value adding proposition for this post,

Good WL FD image! Yes, it's unfortunate that there is so little activity now in WL.

 

Your Ha shot is also quite good; here is it against a GONG image from today:

Nice to see the comparison.  Quite quiet on the surface, but the proms have been great recently.  If your histogram is not clipped on the black (left side of the histogram) then the proms are still there and can be pulled out by raising shadows in your processing software.
