Sun spot: 930

930 is putting on a lovely display today,

In the PST it is showing three filaments protruding, with a couple of
stranglers, one to the south and another to the west (if that's the
direction the sunpots travel, I never been able to remember which side
is which) one rather nice sized Prom can be seen, with a bunch of fainter
ones to the south. There a few minor ones on the other limb that may
turn into something.

930 is also looking spectacular in white light, with several speckles of what
looks like mini spots forming in the penumbra.

930 appears to be growing in size, but this could be that it is slowly turning
to face us. I'm sure the orbiting satelite community are keep an eye on this
one

regards,CS sunny days
