Thanks Dan. I'll be drinking beer with the other in-laws while the family weeps. But my shoulders can be pretty huge, when needed. I lost another old friend and former co-worker last week, who lived to the ripe old age of 84. This has been a bad year as far as losing friends and family. My only consolation is that I'm the one reading the obits, and not the subject! But life is never the same once they've moved on to a better existence, and left us behind. A big hole remains for a long time. Forever, really. Anyway... Steve, you're in luck. There's ONE little sunspot group that has gotten bigger in the last few days and is now almost respectable. The Little Sunspot That Could, lol. The white-light scopes will have something to see besides a blank disk. Good luck at the museum, brother. Prominence activity is very, very good again today. Some of the biggest I've ever seen in the PST continue to adorn the solar limb over practically it's entire circumference. I've seen bigger during Solar Max's of decades past, but these aren't bad at all. This may be my last sun report for a few days, until we return from the funeral. It's in Castledale, not far from The Wedge. Hmmm...I suppose trying to hide the C-6 in the trunk is probably a bad idea, under the circumstances... ;-) On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 9:18 AM, Daniel Holmes <danielh@holmesonics.com>wrote:
