Gong shows yesterdays spectacular prom in the NW.
The new active area moving in on the SE has already been given a number AR 2765. Seems to be showing a small sunspot in White light....

Duly noted and will try and make time for a look today. I did see the Gong images from yesterday and am ruing missing out on the prom, was quite large.
The new AR 2765 definitely shows a small spot in white light!
Images in CaK and H alpha to follow.
There's also a very large but diffuse prom visible on the west side.

Very poor seeing here in-between clouds, but grabbed a rough white light image before the heavy cloud rolled in. Hope it lasts (and the sun comes out again!)
Well done Jonathan!!
Definitely looks like a sunspot to me
My white light set-up has changed to the 4" Genesis and the Baader Cool Herschel wedge...needs a bit of final tweaking before it's ready for a camera...
