Solar Activity 20 Dec 2019

[Merlin66]

Gong is showing a couple of interesting proms and a new AR region coming into view.
Other forums say this might be an early Cycle 25 spot developing....

Milky skies at the moment, but will have a look.
Will be around 46 deg down here today!
Sun screen is mandatory.

perfect conditions here in Nelson this morning (and a lovely 24 degrees or so top temp. I made a few quick observations with the safe solar dob and thought I could perhaps see a hint of the activity coming into view at the mid-northern latitudes. This solar minimum continuum observing is "good training" (or is it "you see what you want to"?) (i.e. sometimes I can see a hint of texture on the solar disk.).
