Clear skies this morning but below average seeing - it's hard to get all your ducks lined up :)
There are some absolutely massively long filaments in the SE quadrant around AR3168. There are plenty of impressive proms spread around the disk and two new active regions coming onto the disk - AR3169 in the NE and AR3170 in the SE. The close up of the SE active region and huge filaments is a two panel mosaic.

Lovely set of images again P & C, lots of interesting fils and proms everywhere.

Certainly a nice lot of filaments Peter and Clare. Might be a good week for viewing this week as well. Cheers John W.

Thanks John. Another good day today as far as clouds go but still average seeing. Not complaining, it's just so good not to have the rain and clouds :)
Plenty of interest on the Sun. The new region AR3169 in the NE looks very large and complex, should be interesting to watch. Possibly more than a single region?
