Looking at the Sun MDI on the left hand side of the forum it appears that there might be some solar activity going on.

Is there activity or do I just need to clean my computer screen?

I don't have a solar filter and don't normally pay that much attention to old Sol but with the upcoming Mecury transit nearly upon us I've been more interested in looking.

Curious as to what you solar observers are seeing...

Thanks!

Naturally ;).

I've gone one better. I've put the orion out and now all I need is for the cloud to bugger off so I can catch a few photons in the ToUcam or Sac
