Hi all

It was great to see AR 1035 completed a lap of the Sun and it is still considered active! I think it departed on the 20th December and was out of view until nowish.
It has been sputtering with C-class X-ray solar flares too! The region also displays a huge dark filament - a mass of gas suspended by magnetic fields over the chromosphere.

Imaged through Solarmax 40, 2.5 Powermate, DMK31 – AVI’s stacked and processed in Registax5.
Conditions were so so.

The first image is of the region departing (around the western limb) - 18 December - and image 2 is the same region reappearing over the eastern limb - from today.

Thanks for looking!
