December 23rd, 7.00am
Region 2916 is a little further from the limb today. It has faculae along with 2 spots, one of which is very dark and interesting.
There is a solo spot that is sufficiently distanced from Region 2912 to be named as its own Region. Similarly, there are 4 spots east of Region 2915.
I could see spots in 7 named Regions and expect 2 more Regions to be soon named. That's a new record for my viewing.
UPDATE at 7.15am: I see that the new Regions have now been designated as 2917 & 2918. Furthermore, Regions 2913 & 14 which I could not find yesterday, have now disappeared of the SDO image on Space Weather.
