As mentioned the seeing was swimming....
I haven't colourised the Ha - the finer detail seemed to show better in B&W
CaK shows the current AR 2757 and the other AR pretty well...
White light (Baader Herschel wedge) shows the Sunspot well - note, there seems to be a "spread" of smaller pores heading off to the top right from the main spot.
Enjoy!!

Nice set of images of AR 2757, the line of tiny pores in the WL image seem to line up with the bright area in the CaK image nicely.
Would like to get some images but I'm finding it too warm to go out in the sun for any length of time during the day. It is interesting that "we" are getting excited about such a tiny active region though.

Thanks, Jeff.
I was surprised that the results were as good as they were.....
"From small spots large sunspot groups grow" ;)
If nothing else it makes a good target for budding solar observers.....

Yes, creating more interest among potential observers and any time devoted to refining equipment and techniques will be time well spent. Still hoping for a repeat of something similar to the Sept 2017 activity, oh, and a BF10 and 110mm D-ERF for a stupidly cheap price would be great.
